Construction is fast with prestressed concrete. As the beams are factory produced, site preparations can proceed. Prestressed concrete is ideal for limited access locations and where speed of erection is crucial.

Not weather dependent

Prestressed concrete bridges are for all seasons: they can be produced and installed at any time of the year, regardless of climate.

Familiar material

Prestressed concrete is a familiar material for construction companies and requires no special bracing and shoring during erection.

Deck maintenance and replacement work can be done while the bridge is in partial service.

Assured plant quality

Plant-cast prestressed concrete products are inspected and quality controlled at the processing plant. In fact, each operation in the manufacturing process, from concrete production to curing, is controlled and inspected in accordance with rigid standards. Tolerances for dimensions, tensioning procedures, material properties, and other critical details are controlled according to well established and rigid standards.

Minimal traffic interruption

Because of the availability of plant-produced sections, prestressed concrete bridges can minimize the public's inconvenience and improve its safety, because prestressed concrete bridges can be opened rapidly.

Construction is fast and easy and can be accomplished by a wide range of construction companies -- they will be working with very familiar materials.
