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
