Corfad recently completed its final site visit to the historic Alligator Creek Bridge in Milman, Queensland, marking the successful culmination of a year-long refurbishment project in collaboration with Haslin and Queensland Rail.

Built over 110 years ago, the timber rail bridge required significant structural upgrades to ensure its continued safe operation and to extend its life by another century. Corfad was engaged by Haslin to assist in critical components of the refurbishment, providing skilled crews and expert support throughout the project lifecycle.

Corfad’s role on the Alligator Creek Bridge included:

Through close collaboration with Haslin and the QR team, Corfad contributed to the development of creative solutions, ensuring the project remained on schedule and within scope.

The Alligator Creek Bridge now stands stronger than ever, with:

This project exemplified teamwork, innovation, and craftsmanship in rail infrastructure.

Corfad extends its thanks to Haslin and the QR team for the opportunity to be part of such a rewarding and technically challenging project. The collaborative spirit and shared commitment to excellence made this a standout success.
