When communities invest in bridge infrastructure that is built to last, they reap many benefits. Prestressed concrete bridge girders offer the longest service life of any bridge material or superstructure.
Ensure Reliable Transportation Routes
Prestressed bridge girders are manufactured to specification in a controlled environment and undergo quality control testing to ensure their quality and durability.
Because concrete is resistant to rot, fire, and corrosion, prestressed concrete bridge girders can endure decades of weather and wear. Highway bridges built with long-lasting concrete bridge girders provide peace of mind for travelers and keep vital transportation routes open.
Maximize Taxpayer Value
When planning to build a new bridge, communities must take into account the cost of construction and maintenance as well as the expected service life of the bridge in order to calculate the total cost of ownership.
Because of their long service life and low maintenance requirements, prestressed concrete bridge girders can help maximize taxpayer value. When correctly installed, prestressed bridge girders can serve communities for nearly 75 years. Their inherent strength and resilience make them capable of withstanding freeze/thaw cycles and high traffic flow for decades.
Minimize Business Disruption From Bridge Repairs or Replacement Projects
When bridges are closed for repairs or replacement projects, the resulting road closures and detours can have a significant impact on commercial and industrial activities in the area. Because of their long service life and minimal maintenance requirements, prestressed girders help minimize the need for such road closures and detours.
