Bridge projects are highly visible infrastructure projects that can have an outsized impact on communities. Project leaders must balance priorities like structural stability, pedestrian and vehicle safety, aesthetic appeal, and efficient construction with immediate and long-term taxpayer value.
Prestressed bridge girders are a cost-effective and reliable solution that provides many long-lasting benefits to communities.
Prestressed fabrication enhances quality and durability
Weather conditions can present many challenges for cast-in-place concrete applications. If not appropriately mitigated, they can lead to project delays, and the strength and resiliency of the concrete may be compromised. In contrast, prestressed bridge girders are manufactured to specification in a climate-controlled environment for unmatched quality and durability.
Businesses benefit from minimized road closure time
Bridge construction often requires diverting or restricting traffic through busy roads and highways. Prestressed girders help minimize road closure time by arriving on site ready to install. Shorter construction timelines help reduce the impact that road closures or detours can have on businesses near bridge projects.
Extended service life maximizes taxpayer value
Studies show prestressed I-beam girders have the longest service life of any bridge material or superstructure. Since they require minimal maintenance, the life cycle cost is low. Communities can rely on bridges built with prestressed girders for decades.
