Fitzroy River Bridge – Kimberley Region

Project Overview

Following the destruction of the original Fitzroy River Bridge during the 2023 Kimberley floods, the new bridge project became one of Western Australia’s highest-priority regional infrastructure undertakings. Delivered under demanding environmental, geographic, and timeline constraints, the project required precision fabrication and reliable supply of critical bridge components.

Date Completed

Apr–Nov 2023

Level Steel’s Scope of Work

Beginning in April 2023, Level Steel was engaged by Brady Marine to deliver welding of 32 DN 1200 Piles, 100% UT testing carried out, and all passed. Upon completion of welding the piles, Georgiou/BMD engaged us to deliver critical fabricated components and temporary works that supported the staged critical construction of the new bridge. Our contribution included:

Handrail Fabrication

  • Fabrication and supply of structural bridge handrails, built in accordance with Main Roads WA specifications
  • Precision construction to ensure uniform fitment, alignment, and site efficiency
  • Complete QA documentation, traceability, welding records, and material certification

Piling Works

  • Support to piling systems required for key structural components of the bridge
  • Integration with formwork and substructure requirements
  • Delivered with strict attention to safety, quality, and constructability in challenging Kimberley conditions

Technical & Quality Deliverables

  • Compliance with AS/NZS 1554.1, AS/NZS 5131, and project-specific MRWA standards
  • Full ITP-driven inspection process covering welding, fabrication, and coating
  • Material traceability, heat numbers, mill certs, and MDR delivery
  • Workshop-to-site integration support to streamline installation sequencing
Fitzroy River Bridge – Kimberley Region

Project Outcome

Level Steel played a direct role in enabling safe and efficient construction of the New Fitzroy River Bridge by supplying high-quality temporary works platforms (crows nests), handrails, and piling support elements. Despite the remote location and accelerated delivery schedule, all components were fabricated to specification, delivered on program, and fully compliant. The result is a resilient, high-capacity bridge that restores vital transport connectivity for the Kimberley region.
