Prestressed Bridge Girders Accelerate Bridge Construction Timelines

Bridge construction projects are high profile events that can disrupt businesses and cause traffic congestion. Choosing the right materials and design can streamline construction and minimize delays. 

County Prestress & Precast’s Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders are an ideal solution for bridge projects with an accelerated construction timeline.

Off-Site Fabrication 

Prestressed bridge systems can shorten bridge construction timelines because they can be produced while the work site is being prepared. Prestressed bridge girders are manufactured to specification and delivery to job sites ready to install.

While temperatures, humidity, rain, and wind can delay cast-in-place construction, County Prestress & Precast’s climate-controlled facilities meet the highest industry standards and are operational year-round. Prestressed girders also reduce the need for temporary support structures, offering significant time and cost savings.

Short Lead Times

Our regional production facilities are equipped to meet local transportation demands with short lead times. When the Wisconsin Department of Transportation wanted to replace aging bridge structures in Osseo, they relied on County Prestress & Precast. Our Roberts and Janesville prestress facilities worked together to manufacture 16 prestressed concrete girders measuring between 129 feet and 145 feet long. The girders were manufactured, delivered, and installed within one month. 

Year-Round Delivery

Concrete bridge girders can be manufactured, delivered, and installed every month of the year, even in harsh climates. This gives construction leaders more flexibility with the construction schedule to minimize weather delays.

Elimination of Temporary Bridges

Conventional bridge construction methods often rely on the construction of temporary bridges, which add to the project’s cost and construction time. In some cases, using prestressed bridge girders can make these temporary structures unnecessary due to the accelerated construction schedule.
