Company: Roads and Maritime Services NSW.
Project: Durability Remediation of Watkins Bridge.
Merit Award Winner in the category of Bridges.

The two old bridges on Five Islands Road over Cockle Creek North and South arms, built in 1973, provide a vital link within Lake Macquarie and surrounding areas. The bridge piers were programmed for immediate repairs after a structural and durability condition assessment recommended crucial action. Corrosion of reinforcement was treated by cathodic protection using sacrificial anodes. The repair included restoration of all deteriorated concrete and provision of reinforcement augmentation where section loss is significant. Cathodic protection design and structural integrity assessment were carried out by RMS Bridge Engineering. While repair work was carried out by RMS Bridgeworks Hunter, with major repair materials (Fosroc) supplied by Parchem Construction Supplies. The project faced a number of challenges from design to actual repair work and were resolved by sound engineering approach, common sense and coordination with everyone involved.
