Known as the Perth Kids’ Bridge or “Koolangka” Bridge (meaning “children” in Noongar), the colourful, 217-metre long, architecturally designed pedestrian bridge was conceived to enable sick children and their carers a safe passage across a busy thoroughfare between the hospital and adjacent parkland. The bridge comprised eleven steel segments, five steel piers and two concrete abutments, utilising 450 cubic metres of concrete and 320 tonnes of steel in its construction. Civmec successfully delivered the project in a short 24-week program.
