Austroads: Transport Research and Trends
Government
Over recent years there have been a number of incidents of structural failures of sign and high mast lighting structures across Australia and New Zealand, primarily due to poor design and construction practices. In addition to the obvious unacceptable safety risks and property damage caused by such incidents, these failures create substantial unforeseen operational costs to repair and modify these assets. This often results in significant traffic delays and imparts reputational damage to the governing road authority and other parties involved.
The Austroads report Design and Construction Guidelines for the Delivery of Large Cantilever and Gantry Structures documents consistent advice for the design and construction of large cantilever and gantry structures that is aligned with national and international best practice.
This webinar, presented by Claire Jager, Linda Ziebell and Andrew Wong, covers the following key topics:
The guidance document should be read alongside relevant standards and is intended for use by all stakeholders including:
Effectiveness and Implementation of Raised Safety Platforms
Pedestrian Planning and Design for Residential Areas
Innovation and Best Practice in Performance Measurement and Transport Outcomes
