| Queensland Rail wishes to advise of the tender opportunity for project QRP-21-147 NCL-S Timber Bridge Replacement of 3 bridges located at Berajondo.
Queensland Rail has a long-term strategy to replace all timber bridging throughout the network with concrete and/or steel bridges or culverts which are to be designed to require minimal maintenance, be resistant to fire or insects and where relevant, be flood resilient. Replacement of timber bridges on the North Coast Line (NCL) commenced in the 1960s as the original structures reached their end of service lives. The majority of bridges have now been replaced however there are three (3) bridges located at Berajondo north of Bundaberg which require replacement.
This tender aims to establish a Major Works Contract with a suitably capable and experienced Contractor for the Berajondo bridge replacement works ensuring high quality service, achieved deadlines and value for money.
The tender is for “Construct Only” works; detailed design for the new bridges have been completed.
The Principal Contractor will be responsible for:

- OHLE works including
- Construction of seven OHLE mast foundations to rail level
