Concrete girders are manufactured to be resilient, withstand harsh elements, and offer a longer service life. Prestressed bridge girders are increasingly specified for their versatility, quality, low maintenance, and durability in climates with low temperatures and snowstorms.
Increased Structural Integrity
When properly installed and maintained, prestressed bridge beams can remain in serviceable condition for decades. Prestress girders are manufactured to last using pre-tensioned steel cables and high-quality concrete and they’re tested to ensure PCI standards for strength and reliability.
Climate-Controlled Production
County Prestress and Precast utilizes our climate-controlled facility in Janesville, Wisconsin to keep pace with demand during the cooler winter months. Manufactured to specification, our prestressed bridge girders arrive ready for installation and can be set in winter weather conditions. Because of this, prestress girders offer significant time and cost savings compared to cast-in-place alternatives.
A Higher Level of Safety
Prestress bridge beams support high load capacities over long spans. Concrete girders' inherent strength and resilience make them capable of withstanding freeze/thaw cycles and increased traffic flow. With adequate drainage, prestressed concrete resists rust and natural elements that can impact structural integrity over time. When prestressed bridge girders are correctly installed, they can serve communities for nearly 75 years.
