ArchCast® Precast Bridge Systems manufactured by County Prestress & Precast are a cost-effective, aesthetically pleasing bridge solution that can protect communities from flooding and prevent the costly damage associated with it. With a service life that can exceed 100 years, their precast fabrication ensures reliable durability and promotes low life cycle costs.
ArchCast is designed to mitigate flood risk. The components are manufactured to specification in our climate controlled production facilities, with arched spans available in lengths from 12 to 42 feet. They are delivered to construction sites ready to install, which can help accelerate construction schedules.
Traditional construction methods can have many adverse effects on aquatic environments because they disturb soils and remove vegetation. This can lead to increased erosion and sedimentation, which can exacerbate flooding. Precast bridge systems help limit the disturbance to these sensitive ecosystems, working in harmony with the existing landscape.
After a major flood destroyed nearly 100 homes in Waynesville, Missouri, local officials knew infrastructure upgrades were necessary to prevent another disaster. One solution was to replace a low water crossing structure on the Roubidoux Creek. Officials specified an ArchCast Precast Bridge System manufactured by County Prestress & Precast to replace the outdated structure. The precast bridge system was favored for its straightforward installation that reduced time and labor costs.
