What is better for a retaining wall, timber sleepers or blocks?

Treated timber is approved for in ground use and has a reasonable service life, however block retaining walls and concrete sleeper retaining walls are more durable having a greater life expectancy. This is based on suitable footings & good drainage. Both Blocks and concrete sleepers come in a wide range of colours, sizes and styles to create a more aesthetic landscape. Common styles of retainers walls to consider are timber sleep retaining walls, link wall or link block retaining walls and concrete sleeper walls

Should I pave or concrete?

While concrete certainly has its benefits, pavers give a more aesthetic finish to a landscape area. Pavers area available in range of colours, texture, styles and sizes. Larger format, 400mm and 500mm pavers have become increasingly popular with modern and contemporary landscape designs. Pavers are also commonly used for garden borders and edges for their straight line finish which is widely desired in modern landscape construction.

Do I need landscape design plans before I get a construction quote?

Yes. A landscape design will allow us to discuss the project with enough detail to allow for an accurate price estimate. This design process will also determine whether council approvals are required, which can impact cost and timing.

Former Como Railway Bridge reused as a walkway and cycleway, across Georges River, between Oatley and Como, New South Wales
Over the Georges River, between the southern Sydney suburbs of Como and Oatley, is a former railway bridge opened in 1885 which 100 years later was converted to a picturesque cycleway and walkway. It was the longest, single-track, lattice girder railway bridge in New South Wales. In 1881 the Public Works Act authorised the raising of 1,020,000 pounds for the construction of a railway from Sydney to Wollongong and Kiama, known as the Illawarra Railway. The tender for the first section, a distance of 37 km including a railway bridge across the Georges River at Como, was accepted from C. & E. Miller & Co. Although officially called the Georges River Bridge, it has always been called the Como Bridge. It was designed by John Whitton (1820-1898) our greatest railway engineer and Engineer-in-Chief of the NSW railways from 1856 until 1890. Similar ones were built between 1871 and 1888 to a standard lattice girder design at the height of the State’s railway expansion. The single-track Como bridge was built between 1883 and 1885. It has six spans, each of 48.5 metres, totalling 291 metres in length. The superstructure is supported on six pairs of 3.4 m diameter cast-iron cylinders, filled with concrete, ranging in depth from 21 metres to 35 metres. The iron components for the bridge were fabricated in England and shipped to Darling Harbour in Sydney. The cylinders were made by the Stockton Forge Company and the wrought iron superstructure by Cochrane and Co. of Middlesborough, Yorkshire. Transporting the ironwork from Darling Harbour to the work site at Como involved a lengthy journey. It began going by train to the contractors’ depot south of St Peters station. Then, a temporary standard gauge horse-drawn tramway along the route of the Illawarra Railway under construction to Tempe where it crossed the Cooks River on a wooden trestle bridge. After this it followed the south bank to cross Rocky Point Road. From a series of three wharves the material was then loaded into flat bottom barges or punts pulled by steam tugs from the Cooks River, across Botany Bay to the Georges River. A short, inclined tramway lifted the material from wharves at the bridge site at Como to the railway formation some 15 metres above sea level. Supervision of the bridge’s construction was undertaken by Thomas Rhodes Firth (1832-1903), the District Engineer mainly for the Southern Railway. A total of 450,000 rivets were used. Unusual features of the bridge included the fine sandstone abutments and facia at the northern end and the fact that the track was later gauntleted for safe operating purposes when the line was duplicated. The bridge was opened on Boxing Day in 1885 and during the holiday period until 4 January 1886 it was permitted to carry excursion trains. The press described them as being ‘patronised to their fullest extent, some of them overwhelmed with excursionists, scarcely affording standing room for hundreds’. This was an unusual occurrence since only test trains could usually operate on a new bridge until load tests had been carried out to the satisfaction of the engineers. In this case, it was a political decision as the then MP for Canterbury, William George Judd (1847-1929), requested the excursion trains be permitted on the bridge over the holidays and the minister for Public Works agreed. The official load tests did not take place until the middle of January when a train comprising three heavy locomotives and tenders were coupled together with a gross load of almost 200 tons and run to and fro across the bridge at speeds of up to 40 km per hour. The resulting deflection was only 16 mm while the final cost of the bridge was 66,000 pounds. It was not long before the government’s cost-cutting measure of constructing a single-line bridge, against Whitton’s advice, was hugely regretted. Surely, it must have been obvious at the time that eventually the potential for urban development south of the Georges River and the requirements of heavy coal and industrial traffic from the Illawarra warranted a double-track bridge eventually. The ‘single-track’ decision was later referred to literature as a ‘monumental blunder in forward planning’. Furthermore, the government’s insistence on a minimum clearance under the bridge at above high water ensured steep grades on each side of the river were necessary. Only five years after the bridge was opened, a double-track line was constructed for the Illawarra. In the 1920s, schemes were examined for a new double-track bridge at Como and converting the lattice girder bridge to road use by adding a wide road deck on top. However, the government’s other high-cost priorities, including suburban electrification, stopped any development on the bridge. The enormous operational inconvenience of the single-track bridge ensured it remained an annoying and frustrating bottle-neck for over 80 years. The old Como Bridge stayed in service until November 1972 when it was replaced by an adjacent double-track pre-stressed concrete bridge built upstream of it. From 1942 the old bridge was given the added function of carrying one, and later two, large water mains from the recently completed Woronora Dam, north, to reservoirs at Penshurst. After it was no longer required by the railways, ownership of the bridge was transferred to the Metropolitan Water Sewerage and Drainage Board which planned to retain it but to remove its distinctively structural features. Members of the Industrial Archaeology Committee of the National Trust of Australia (NSW) were instrumental in having the historic bridge retained, restored and reused so as to be available to the public. They co-ordinated discussions between Sutherland Shire Council, Kogarah Municipal Council, the water board and numerous State authorities to achieve this end in 1985. This was the centenary year of the bridge’s opening and involved funds being provided by the State and Federal Governments, through the Community Employment Program, and Sutherland Council. This allowed the railway infrastructure to be removed from the deck and its conversion into part of a scenic cycleway and walkway extending from the old Como Pleasure Grounds to Oatley shopping centre. The water board carried the cost of repairing and repainting the bridge which has proven to be a popular amenity for locals and modern day-trippers alike. Twenty-five years later, during the leadup to the Sydney Olympics, another of John Whitton’s lattice girder bridges, namely the old Meadowbank Railway Bridge of 1886 across the Parramatta River, was similarly converted.
