- Abstract
As the result of a AU$11,000 Grant through the 1993/94 Australian National Estates Grant Programme, the members of the Engineering Heritage Panel of the Western Australia Division of the Institution of Engineers, Australia, have completed a five volume survey and recording of a number of Large Timber Structures in Western Australia which was initially started by the late Mr Denis Cumming in 1993. The survey covered Road Bridges, Railway Bridges, Footbridges, Timber Company Bridges, Forestry Department Bridges, Jetties, Air Transport Structures, Maritime Structures, Military Structures, Mining Structures, Railway Water Tanks, Forestry and Timber Milling Structures, Water Supply Tanks and Major Timber Power Lines. Some 850 structures were listed of which 139 have been selected as having a high degree of engineering heritage which should be considered for State Listing. The Paper covers the process by which this project was undertaken, the documentation and final presentation of the survey.
