Advanced Bridge Construction

Advanced Bridge Construction in Texas

Description:

This webinar discusses recent advancements in how precast concrete is being used on modern bridge projects in Texas and other locations. Recent project experiences are featured to demonstrate how creative designs using precast, prestressed concrete enhanced the success of numerous bridge projects.

Design concepts available to Designers, Owners, and Contractors to assist them in determining appropriate solutions for precast substructures and superstructures are featured. Means and methods in fabrication and construction are discussed using actual project experiences. Design concepts that are being proposed for future projects will also be featured.

The presentation showcases the versatility and constructability achieved by using precast, prestressed concrete elements in bridge construction which result in:

A safer work environment
Better quality materials and workmanship
Greater economy
Reduced construction schedules
Less impact on the public during construction
Aesthetic enhancements to the completed project

Learning Objectives:

Owners, Engineers, and Contractors will gain exposure to available designs and resources and how to utilize them on bridge projects.

Learn about how precasting various bridge elements has a demonstrated positive impact on the constructability of a project.

Learn how enhanced constructability has reduced construction cost and project schedules.
