Since 2005, the long running Australian Small Bridges Conference, and Exhibition, provides practical guidance and alerts bridge, road and rail engineers, asset owners, managers, contractors and suppliers about significant new developments and requirements for small to medium span bridges, including culverts and associated civil and geotechnical works.

Sustainability, Environmental and Safety (Worker and Road User) Issues  are all topics gaining increasing focus.

The conference includes Geotechnical Engineering and Civil Works.

Bridges and culverts can be for road vehicles, trains, aircraft, mining equipment, pedestrians, cyclists, services, powerlines or even stock and wildlife.

While the conference will be conducted in Australia, projects and topics are from throughout the world. In 2023, we had speakers from seven different countries presenting.
