South Coast, NSW

Essential concrete repair works are underway at the historic Narooma Bridge, with specialist scaffolding access designed and installed by Instant Access to support the project for Transport for NSW.

The bridge, a vital connection for the local community and travellers along the Princes Highway, required a highly tailored access solution to provide safe access to fenders and the underside of the bridge where crews are carrying out repair work around the concrete piers.

To overcome this unique access challenge the Instant Access installation team transported scaffold equipment by boat to reach the work area. From there, crews erected a secure system that allowed safe and efficient access to areas that would otherwise have been impossible to reach.

This approach not only enabled critical concrete repair works to progress, but also minimised disruption for road users above, keeping the bridge open while ensuring worker safety below.

Drawing on almost 60 years of experience in scaffolding and access solutions, Instant Access was able to combine careful planning with a safety-first approach to deliver a system tailored to the unique conditions of the South Coast.

“Projects like Narooma Bridge highlight the importance of planning, teamwork and a strong safety culture,” said Reza Forghani – Project Engineer from Instant Access. “It’s about giving crews the right access so they can focus on delivering quality outcomes.”

This project reinforces Instant Access’ ongoing role in supporting Transport for NSW infrastructure projects across New South Wales. From major icons like the Sydney Harbour Bridge with the current heritage restoration underway, Instant Access continues to deliver innovative, reliable scaffolding services that keep essential works moving safely.
