The Singleton Bypass is a $700 million project jointly managed by the Commonwealth and the NSW State Government. The New England Highway carries approximately 26,000 vehicles daily, including over 3,700 heavy vehicles. The bypass will alleviate traffic congestion by circumventing five sets of traffic lights in Singleton's CBD. When finished, it is expected to improve travel times, freight efficiency and safety for local and interstate motorists.
RUD Solutions
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.

Testimonial
"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. I could call RUD anytime and they were at my disposal if there were onsite changes or questions.
Getting RUD involved early in the design phase assisted in the optimisation of walkways and produced savings on consumables. RUD are very pragmatic in their recommendations and utilise their extensive experience to problem-solve issues ahead of time.
As a business, we could not have been more impressed with Matt and the team. The advantage RUD provides is a solution-focused engineering team with a quick turnaround time".
