rehAbilitAtion
Economical Rehabilitation
Bridge rehabilitation, widening and modernization are frequently more economical and less disruptive than complete removal and replacement. Many bridges can also be relined by erecting CONTECH plate structures inside of them, or by erecting the structures outside and threading them into existing openings. Plate units are delivered to the job site unassembled and easily bolted together to form various shapes. CON/SPAN and BEBO concrete arches provide another alternative for bridge rehabilitation. Precast elements are easily slid underneath existing aging structures to ensure their longterm serviceability.
Replacing Aging Infrastructure
With a nationwide focus on structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridges, time and cost-effective bridge replacement solutions are in high demand. CONTECH Construction Products plate, precast and truss structures have proven records of success for: Emergency bridge replacements Fast-tracked projects Relining and rehabilitation Culvert extensions for road widening
Because these structures are prefabricated and come with extensive technical support, they allow highway agencies and municipalities to dramatically reduce construction time and traffic disruptions during bridge replacements.
Emergency Bridge Replacement
Counties, townships and municipalities have the bulk of the nations bridge problems. When flash floods pose a problem or other natural disasters hit, replacement of structurally compromised bridges is crucial. CONTECH's prefabricated structures install quickly with less on-site equipment and less waste. Our durable products are manufactured and installed to the industry's highest specifications. With total site solutions provided and extensive technical support, you have the reassurance of getting it done right the first time.
