The ConStruct™ Prefabricated Bridge System is a precast concrete product that installs easily and quickly minimizing traffic interruptions.  The ConStruct™ Bridge System is just one of the innovative ideas offered by McCann Concrete Products and Tricon Precast, a Texas based company. 

The ConStruct™ Bridge can be delivered, installed and opened to traffic in one day.  The ConStruct™ composite beams are produced off site, similar to precast concrete beams, and designed for simple span dead and live loads with HS20 loading.  Beams are connected together with transverse post-tension and/or cast in place concrete tie pours. 

ConStruct™ Bridge spans up to 60' are available from McCann. Using a ConStruct™ Bridge on an existing abutment can reduce by up to two-thirds, the installation time and overall cost of a new bridge.

The trapezoidal shape of the galvanized tub girder incorporated into the ConStruct™ beams require no welding or lateral bracing. This reduces the construction time and eliminates the costly fabrication of steel cross frames. Steel weight is reduced by approximately 30% compared to conventional simple span steel girders.

The precast fabrication process of the beam eliminates temperature and shrinkage cracks in the deck, and allows hot dipped galvanizing of the tub girder; offering 50+ years of maintenance free protection. ConStruct™ Bridges can be designed with future expansion in mind.  The fascia beams can be manufactured with "future widening" deck details.
