7 ridge eams Prestressed concrete bridge beams provide a durable, high quality solution for modern road structures. Concast has a dedicated production facility, which manufactures to precise tolerances in compliance with ISO 9001 quality procedures. The high quality steel moulds produce units with an impressive finish, available in a wide range of bridge profiles, which span up to 45m depending on conditions. eam Type Shape Spans Applications TY 5-18m Medium span bridges, car parks, jetties and marine decks. TYE 5-18m Generally used as edge beams to the TY eam. Prestressed technology typically provides slimmer, stronger, lighter, beams and also lowers the cost versus traditional building methods. The speed of installation of precast bridge beams is a key benefit when contractors are planning major road. The prestressed beams manufactured in the facility can also be used in the construction of multistorey car parks,, jetties and marine decks etc. Introducing the Concast Super U (CSU) eam Concast manufactures a wide range of bridge profiles such as the familiar TY, Y, M and U formats etc. U beams are the most widely used beam due to their attractive profile. Concast has also introduced the Concast Super U beam (CSU) with larger spans. The Concast team has designed and developed the Concast Super U beam (CSU) in consultation with engineering firm Mott Maconald. Subsequent to rigorous third party testing and approval, the CSU has been successfully erected on numerous National Roads Authority (NRA) bridge schemes. For larger spans the CSU has significant economic advantages when compared to the standard U-beam, providing a lower cost solution, with faster erection times and greater spans of up to 45m. The familiar and attractive U profile is maintained on the underside of the finished bridge ensuring that the CSU will stand the test of time both from a durability and aesthetic perspective. M 16-29m Provides voided bridge deck for medium and long span road bridge construction. Y 14-31m Medium and long span bridge beams. YE 14-31m Medium and long span bridge beams. YE is generally used as edge beams to the Y eam. U 14-34m Excellent for skewed structures, good with torsion. U beams are popular due to their attractive edge profile. CSU 13-45m Similar in design and profile to the standard U beam, but with greater spanning capabilities. Note: The above table provides a guide only, the Concast design office should be consulted in relation to specific technical requirements for individual contracts. Parapets Precast concrete parapets can be supplied by Concast and fixed on site. Precast concrete removes the necessity for complicated formwork, steel-fixing and pouring which is required for traditional insitu parapets. The required fixings or sockets for projecting bars may be provided as part of the bridge beam and cast in during the production stage. ridge eams 5

10 ridge ecks Concast manufactures various forms of bridge deck including glass reinforced concrete (GRC) panels and omnia plates. These panels replace the need for temporary shuttering and hence increase the speed of construction. A thorough testing and transparent quality control procedure is in place, as the units must be sufficiently durable to last the lifespan of the bridge. Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) GRC slabs are glass fibre reinforced concrete panels, which are used to span the short distance between bridge beams on site. They can be provided in various profiles such as corrugated or flat to suit the supporting beam design. They are light, durable and relatively inexpensive. GRC decks are recognised as an industry standard which are widely used on bridge beam projects. Omnia Slab Omnia slabs are a thin layer of solid concrete slab with a projecting lattice exposed to bind with an insitu concrete layer, poured later on site. It is suitable to span the short distance between bridge beams. Precast Ramps Concast has provided ramp slabs on a number of major throughout the country. These are solid reinforced slabs used on pedestrian bridges or similar instances. Typical span up to 7 meters, depending on the depth of the required unit. ridge ecks 8

11 Retaining Wall Units Concast s retaining wall units are an efficient means of bulk storage and the retention of materials. The precast concrete units are generally free-standing and can be dismantled or relocated if required. Concast manufactures various types of retaining walls, including: Single or double heel wall units, of varying heights to form a load-bearing wall. They can be loaded from one or both sides. Retaining wall with insitu heel, the precast wall unit is cast with exposed projecting steel in the heel of the unit, the concrete is then poured on the projecting steel on site. Twin walls, ideally suited for basements and embanking of materials. The twinwall comprises of two panels connected by a cast in steel lattice, the unit is then filled with insitu concrete, to form a single unit. Single Heel ouble Heel Twin Walls In-Situ Heel Retaining Wall Units 9

12 10 Concast s concrete box culverts are used for conveyance of fluids such as stormwater, stream crossings and sewage as well as for short-span bridges and underground access. Precast box culverts are produced in a controlled environment allowing a high degree of quality and uniformity. Concast also provide wing walls and head beams, which can be used to guide fluids through the box sections.

13 Culverts and Trenches In addition to a standard range of box culverts, Concast can also provide non-standard sizes to suit your requirements. U shaped culverts (or trenches) are also popular, when access is required from the top of the culvert. Lids can be cast separately for these units, which allow the user to have the culvert covered over or accessible, as required. These lids are often used when pipes or other equipment stored within the culvert/trench may require maintenance. Final design and wall thickness is dependent upon the project specific design criteria, which can be reviewed by our design department. Culverts and Trenches 11

14 The Concast Precast Group provide complete precast concrete solutions for a wide range of sectors including: Retail and office parks Concast provide multi-storey precast frames for retail or office buildings.
