County Prestress & Precast Formwork Offers Design Flexibility for Bridges

Jun 19, 2023

County Prestress & Precast bridge systems and prestressed concrete bridge girders can be customized to meet the structural and design requirements of any project.

Our production teams are experienced with custom formwork. Headwalls and wingwalls manufactured as part of our ArchCast® Precast Bridge Systems can be produced with formliners to achieve a wide variety of aesthetic styles, including textures that emulate natural stone walls.

Prestressed bridge components can also be combined with other bridge components to meet project requirements.

In Galesburg, Illinois, a three-track railroad underpass bridge was constructed to improve safety and reduce traffic congestion. Project leaders specified steel girders, precast pier caps, and prestressed concrete fascia girders. County Prestress & Precast used custom forms to manufacture 12 precast pier caps and six prestressed fascia girders. To enhance the aesthetic appeal of the bridge and celebrate the local community, the pier caps were cast with a natural stone texture and a message across the center girder that reads, “Welcome to Galesburg.”

The design flexibility of prestressed and precast concrete is just one of many reasons project leaders turn to it as their bridge support material of choice.
