West Gate Bridge

The West Gate Bridge Membrane Removal project was captured for QEST Infrastructure, showcasing one of Melbourne's most technically demanding infrastructure maintenance works.

Delivered across a tight shutdown window, the project involved the removal of 1km of membrane across both sides of the West Gate Bridge using ultra-high-pressure water blasting, robotics and industrial vacuum systems. With more than 70 QEST employees working across day and night shifts, the works required detailed planning, precise coordination and strong execution across engineering, operations, mechanics and fabrication teams.

Our media coverage documented the scale, pressure and complexity of the project, capturing the people, equipment and processes behind the delivery. From ultra-high-pressure pumps exceeding 2,500 bar to Aqua cutter robotics, industrial vacuum units, semi tankers and water carts, the content highlighted QEST's ability to deliver complex infrastructure solutions where conventional methods would not work.

Completed ahead of schedule with zero QEST delays and zero incidents, the project showcased QEST Infrastructure's commitment to safety, innovation, teamwork and engineering precision across major civil and infrastructure works in Victoria.
