Lifting Hoops for Singelton Bypass

Posted 11/12/2025
Pre-Cast Concrete Hoops,

The Singleton Bypass Project in NSW is a major $700 million infrastructure upgrade improving freight efficiency, safety, and travel times along the New England Highway. RUD supplied engineered lifting solutions to safely install large bridge girders, supporting efficient precast construction on the project.

The Background

The Singleton Bypass is a $700 million project jointly managed by the Commonwealth and NSW State Government. The New England Highway carries approximately 26,000 vehicles daily, including over 3,700 heavy vehicles. When the bypass finished, it is expected to improve travel times, freight efficiency and safety for local and interstate motorists.

The Solution

RUD supplied Philipp Cast-in Lifting Hoops for the bridge girders, which are a safe and efficient solution for lifting heavy prestressed units such as beams, decks, and girders. The cast in lifting hoops have a fully engineered design and are Working Load Limit (WLL) colour-coded for easy visual checks. They eliminate the need for specialist lifting clutches or equipment, making them simple to use and a more efficient method for large precast elements.

RUD has a team of design engineers to tailor lift designs to specific projects, with a focus on simple installation and safe and efficient final installation, including consideration for temporary works.

The Benefits

  • Lifting Hoops are safer to use
  • They can be inspected easily (no cover/sheath compared to strand lifters)
  • They are easy to install and manage
  • No heavy and awkward lifting clutches required
  • Minimal lead time

What the customer says

"When you are casting 100T concrete girders, there is little margin for error and big savings can be generated if cost-effective solutions are provided. The benefit of engaging RUD was reflected in the fact that all girders were installed on time and without incident.

As a business, we could not have been more impressed with the team. The advantage RUD provides is a solution focused engineering team with a quick turnaround time".
