Precast Concrete Bridge

precast concrete bridges

The HY-SPAN Bridge SystemTM utilizes a three-sided, flat-decked, rectilinear precast concrete bridge unit placed segmentally onto a concrete foundation. The segmental units are connected together by means of mechanical lateral ties such as post-tensioning rods or strands and by a grouted keyway preformed into the foundation and at the mating surfaces between adjacent units. The HY-SPAN system offers clear span units from six feet to fifty feet coupled with vertical clearances from two feet to fourteen feet so that a wide range of opening configurations can be achieved. HY-SPAN units may be cast with a skew angle up to 45 degrees or in radial and transitional shapes. The foundation, wing walls and guardrail may also be precast or cast-in-place depending on site conditions.

A typical, totally precast installation may be made in less than one day!

Typical Applications Include:

  • Conventional concrete bridge construction and replacement
  • Multiple cell installations for longer spans
  • Underground stormwater detention structures
  • The HY-SPAN System meets or exceeds the following:
