The West Gate Bridge is Located in Melbourne, Victoria and is one of the highest bridges found in Australia: spanning a total length of 2,582 meters over the top of the Yarra River entrance and nearby industrial suburbs. The main river span is 336 meters in length with a height of 58 meters tall. The bridge is babricated from cable-stayed steel box girders and carries five lanes of traffic in each direction, making it a vital link between the inner city (CBD) and Melbourne's Western suburbs.
The West Gate Bridge moves over 200,000 vehicles per day, making it one of the busiest high volume road corridors in Australia. Bridge preservation activities and preventive maintenance is critical for the performance of the traveling public which also extends the service life of the infrastructure investment. Ace Tower Hire has played a major part in the West Gate Strengthening program and also with the upgraded anti-suicide fencing project.
Ace Tower Hire still carries out the general bridge inspections and maintenance on the bridge without inconveniencing traffic users. With Aces experience and extensive resources, such as our fleet of EWPs ranging from 30 - 70 metres and specialised bridge units, it makes us the number one choice to deliver working at heights solutions for many major bridge projects. Our ongoing involvement with the West Gate Bridge is a reflection of Aces experience and ability to carry out large scale projects Australia wide.
