Maryborough Bridges

Diver safety from crocodiles is an issue with bridges in far north Queensland and provided a challenge to ensure a safe workplace environment; we have developed a new safety strategy in the form of a croc protection cage.

Queensland Crocodile Protection Cage

Healthy looking croc spotted in north QLD not long after we had been inspecting the bridge just 80metres upstream.

The cage worked really well, wasn’t to hard to maneuver or work out of, he actually did some inspections horizontally, diver’s happy to use it, no crocodiles were sighted on this trip fortunately.
