Accelerated Bridge Program

Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC): ABC is bridge construction that uses innovative planning, design, materials, and construction methods in a safe and cost-effective manner to reduce the onsite construction time that occurs when building new bridges or replacing and rehabilitating existing bridges Prefabricated Bridge Elements and Systems PBES are structural components of a bridge that are built offsite, or near- site of a bridge and include features that reduce the onsite construction time and the mobility impact time that occurs when building new bridges or rehabilitating or replacing existing bridges relative to conventional construction methods. Accelerated Bridge Program

10’ Span ALBC on Precast Footings
14
Benefits to You: Provides ease and speed of installation Alleviates hazardous working conditions Trapezoidal foundation reduces wing wall concrete quantities Minimal reinforcement to be placed on site Pick weights and sizes customized to your equipment Use with Aluminum Plate or CON/SPAN Structures Blends the speed of precast with the economy of cast-in-place EXPRESS Concrete Footings – Speed and Ease
15
Construction Process: Excavate and prepare foundation subgrade Unload and set precast channels Place minimal reinforcing at joints to provide foundation continuity Set precast bridge units, headwalls and wing walls Pour cast-in-place concrete Seal joints, grout wing walls and backfill. Helping Accelerate Bridge Construction
