BSC has served the public well since 1971 completing several thousand public works projects through local government and government authorities.

Bicycle path and viewing platform
Footbridges
One of the most satisfying aspects of providing consulting engineering services to government is the public, visible results of your work.
This pertains particularly to footbridges for which BSC has developed a reputation for innovative design and construction in timber, steel and concrete.
Footbridges constructed in glue laminated timber have become a speciality. The Greensborough footbridge (drawing below) constructed in 1975 is a fifty metre span, three pinned arch structure in treated, laminated pinus radiata. This bridge received a High Commendation from the IEAust Vic Division Excellence Awards in 1978.

BSC’s longest bridge crosses the Maribyrnong River at Essendon in Melbourne (photo left). This innovative restrained two-pinned arch glue laminated jarrah bridge was erected in 1995. Spanning 68 metre, it is believed to be the largest bridge of its type in the world. This bridge received a Design Excellence Award from ASCEV in 1998.
