Adelaide Sky City Casino
South Road overpass

We have been engaged by both the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure and third party principal contractors to carry out repair works on bridges located over both road and railway lines.

Repair works have included crack injections, installing expansion joints to roadways, plus drain and footpath repairs. In many instances, these works have been done from height to ensure the most effective repairs are carried out.

SA Water Assets

We have undertaken many concrete repairs at SA Water locations in the metropolitan area and rural locations; both directly for SA Water and for Fulton Hogan, Leed and Guidera O’Connor.

Depending on the type of work required, it is either done in accordance with SA Water pre-determined specifications, or in conjunction with engineers but always to determine the best outcome for SA Water.

Wild Dog Valley Road Bridge

In April 2020, we were contracted by a local council in the south-east of South Australia to carry out cleaning, surface preparation and application of protective coatings to concrete and steel components of a road bridge. Upon completion of the initial water blast, all steel handrails on the bridge were sanded by hand and the concrete posts and plinths were ground back to a clean surface to remove all contaminants. Finally, protective coatings were applied - a two-component coating system of primer and topcoat.

Adelaide Desal Plant

In July 2018 Swart & Sons were contracted by Adelaide Aqua Pty Ltd to carry out repair works on a concrete overflow tank. Works consisted of concrete repairs, abrasive blasting and application of protective coatings to the walls and floors of the tank. Due to the nature of the tank, work was considered to be ‘high risk construction work’, which incorporated working in confined spaces, risk of a person falling more than two metres plus working in an area with movement of powered mobile plant.
