The undertaking consists of supplying design and building direction services for the development of a Pedestrian Bridge over the Nepean River. The intent of the undertaking is to supply local community occupants and visitants to the country with an easy entree over to either side of the River Bankss. The span is to be built as an inducement of the Local Government Area ( LGA ) of Penrith. The plan has been developed to fancify the milieus, whilst following with the councils ‘ vision of go toing the demands of the natural militias. The river flows in an unpeopled H2O catchment country into the Nepean Dam which supplies H2O for the Sydney part. The proposed span crossing is required at a subdivision of the river that spans between 90 – 100 meters.
Rational of Design
A Steel-Truss design was set for the building of the span. This was due to the councils thorough research which indicated that this span system would be the most appropriate, given the environmental fortunes for the undertaking. This included the mean span of the Nepean River and its soil/load conditions. Research besides concluded that this design would adequately back up the burden of the expected intent and its current location. Each country meets and complies with the councils guidelines.
Introduction
Penrith City Council has requested proposals from qualified design and building direction houses. They have been asked to supply professional services for the conceptual survey, design, coordination and readying of the relevant contract certifications for the installing of the proposed span over the Nepean River. The span is to cross across the river over a distance of 100 meters and is to be used by walkers to supply them with the agencies to traverse from one side of the river to the other.
Literature reappraisal
Undertaking Problem
The chief job that our undertaking is taking to work out is of both prosaic safety and easiness of entree to public countries within the recreational park. The lone entree across the Nepean River at the current location is via the M4 and The Great Western Highway ‘s vehicular Bridgess. Between the two Bridgess is a spread which stretches an estimation of 3 kilometers without any entree across the river. This forces pedestrians to traverse the river utilizing crossings with a high traffic volume. This can be unsafe for walkers particularly those traversing with immature kids. Between these two current Bridgess there is Regatta Park and River Road Reserve which are both popular diversion countries.
The Solution
We propose that a prosaic span will be constructed between the M4 and The Great Western Highway. The span will supply direct and safe entree for walkers to and from Regatta Park and River Road modesty from the opposite side of the river. We estimate that an norm of 40-50 people will utilize the span each twenty-four hours.
The Design
Our research indicated that the most suited design of span for our undertaking would be a steel truss span. This manner can suit spans of up to 150 meters ; hence, as our span has a span of 100m it was the best pick for the location and usage. Other alternate options included beam, cantilever and suspension Bridgess. A semilunar manner design provides the span with aesthetic entreaty.
Materials
Weathering steel was used in the design for the span because it gives high strength and lastingness along with a comparatively low weight and easy hard-on. The steel must be galvanised to increase the life of the span by forestalling corrosion. A figure of stuffs could hold been used for the adorning including asphalt, concrete and lumber. Yellow Pine lumber was chosen as it is comparatively inexpensive and aesthetically appealing.

Safety Policy
An of import facet of any development is that of safety of site personal during the building phases of a undertaking. Not merely is the providing of a safe work environment required by jurisprudence through administrations such as WorkCover and its codification of pattern with the Australian Safety Standards, it is besides the duty of each personal to be cognizant of the safety of themselves and to guarantee that their equals abide by the regulations, ordinances, safety guidelines and protective steps outlined below to make safe working atmosphere, and to assist understate any hurt or work topographic point accidents on site.
To ease with the undertaking of constructing a span over the Nepean River in Penrith, Management has created a Safety Management Plan ( SMP ) that will turn to the Occupational Health And Safety ( OH & A ; S ) issues throughout the undertaking.
Site Specific Safety Rules are to be purely adhered to. If it is found that site personal ( s ) are non following the undermentioned regulations efficaciously, rough punishments such as suspension or dismals will be enforced.
Duties
The Site Safety Management Plan for this peculiar site has been produced and will guarantee that site safety regulations are displayed on assorted locations of the site. The program inside informations all safety instructions.
