An ideal solution for long bridge construction
When planning a bridge, be it for highway, railroad, logging, or mining, our patented COMP-GIRDER® I-BEAM will outperform the conventional concrete girder for strength to weight ratio and the steel I-beam for cost. Our COMPO-GIRDER® I-BEAM presents the best alternative to conventional girders.
The main reasons for clients and design engineers to choose the COMPO-GIRDER® I-BEAM are cost savings and versatility. There are many other less obvious advantages such as ease of handling, unrestricted web height, and a wide range of shapes and camber, all of which combine to achieve successful and timely project completion.
Economical and versatile
- economically manufactered
- unrestricted web height may result in reduced abutment and road approach depths
- in handling and transportation COMPO-GIRDER I-BEAM can be lifted and bunked at any one or two points along its length. In fact, it can be rolled on one point throughout its length - this means easier handling at the yard, transportation and launching site
- can accomodate any load, span and fatigue requirement
- any configuration; clearspan, cantilevered, segmentally spliced
- pleasing appearance, be it architectural or industrial finish
- wide variety of shape and camber
The advantages of the COMPO-GIRDER over prestressed concrete girders
- has greater strength to weight ratio, which can mean fewer girders
- shallower in depth
- precamber versatility
- greater industrial applications
- more economically manufactured
- easier to transport and erect
The advantages of the COMPO-GIRDER over steel I-beam girders
- more economical raw product
- more economically manufactured
- enhanced durability of concrete web
- more pleasing appearance
