Long-Lasting Prestressed Bridge Girders Benefit Communities

Oct 23, 2023

Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders are the leading choice for bridge construction across the country. They have the longest service life while requiring less maintenance and they are increasingly specified for their strength, quality, and shortened construction time.

Prestressed fabrication enhances quality and durability                        

Weather conditions present challenges for cast-in-place concrete applications. If not appropriately mitigated, they can lead to project delays and compromise the strength and resiliency of the concrete. Prestressed bridge girders are manufactured to specification in a climate-controlled environment for unmatched quality and durability.

Prestressed concrete’s high-performance fabrication offers unmatched strength. Concrete bridge girders withstand natural and manmade impacts over an extended service life and are the strongest and most resilient building materials available. Prestressed concrete bridges are resistant to rot, fire, and corrosion and can endure decades of weather and wear.

Structural versatility offers greater design flexibility

Manufactured off-site, prestressed bridge girders offer design flexibility and arrive on site ready for installation. County Prestress & Precast works with engineers and contractors to accommodate each project’s specifications and delivers them to meet the demands of aggressive construction schedules.

Minimized construction time benefits businesses

Businesses benefit from shortened road closure time, as bridge construction requires diverting and restricting traffic through busy roads and highways. Prestressed girders help minimize road closure time by arriving ready to install. Shorter construction timelines help reduce road closures and detours’ impact on communities. Rely on our manufacturing experience and state-of-the-art facilities to get the job done.

Extended service life offers an economic advantage to taxpayers

Prestressed concrete bridge girders offer an economic advantage as they require minimal maintenance and contribute to longevity and low life-cycle costs. Studies demonstrate that prestressed I-beam girders have the longest service life of any bridge material or superstructure. Communities can rely on bridges build with prestressed girders for decades.
