COMPO-GIRDER® - CHANNEL BEAM

When planning a bridge, be it for highway, railroad, logging, or mining, our patented COMPO-GIRDER® INVERTED CHANNEL BEAM will outperform conventional box or slab girders.

The main reasons for bridge contractors, precast manufacturers, design engineers, and developers choosing the COMPO-GIRDER® INVERTED CHANNEL BEAM are cost savings and versatility.

There are many other less obvious advantages such as ease of handling, full access to utilities, and a wide range of shapes and camber, all of which combine to achieve successful and timely project completion.
