Merivale Bridge Refurbishment Highlights McElligotts’ Abrasive Blasting Expertise
The Merivale Bridge in Brisbane underwent a major refurbishment carried out by McElligotts for Queensland Rail between 2016 and 2017. The project focused on restoring and protecting key bridge components, including the deck, cables and arches.
As part of the work, McElligotts used abrasive blasting to remove contaminants, corrosion and deteriorated coatings, preparing the structural surfaces for a new protective coating system. The team also carried out cleaning and surface preparation activities to address the bridge’s condition after years of exposure to environmental elements.
Working on an operational rail bridge required careful coordination, particularly because access was restricted and rail services needed to continue without interruption. Collaboration with other contractors was essential to completing the work safely and efficiently.
The Merivale Bridge project showcases how abrasive blasting and protective coating applications contribute to the maintenance and preservation of critical infrastructure.
