COMPO-GIRDER® I-BEAM

When planning a bridge, be it for highway, railroad, logging, or mining, our patented COMPO-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 manufactured
• Unrestricted web height may result in reduced abutment and roach approach depth
• 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 this length - this means easier handling at the yard, transportation and a launching site
• Can accommodate 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
