4 PRECAST construction keeps the site, cleanerand improves logistics o n BeamsBridge BeamsPrestressed concrete bridge beams provide a durable, high qualitysolution for modern road structures. CONCAST has a dedicatedproduction facility, which manufactures to precise tolerances incompliance with ISO 9001 quality procedures. The high qualitysteel moulds produce units with an impressive finish, available in awide range of bridge profiles, which span up to 45m depending onconditions. Introducing the CONCAST Super U (CSU) BeamConcast manufactures a wide range of bridge profiles such as the familiar TY, Y, M and Uformats etc. U beams are the most widely used beam due to their attractive profile. Concasthas also introduced the CONCAST Super U beam (CSU) with larger CONCAST team has designed and developed the CONCAST Super U beam (CSU) inconsultation with engineering firm Mott MacDonald.

5 Subsequent to rigorous third partytesting and approval, the CSU has been successfully erected on numerous National RoadsAuthority (NRA) bridge schemes. For larger spans the CSU has significant economic advantages when compared to thestandard U-beam, providing a lower cost solution, with faster erection times and greaterspans of up to 45m. The familiar and attractive U profile is maintained on the underside of thefinished bridge ensuring that the CSU will stand the test of time both from a durability andaesthetic technology typically provides slimmer, stronger, lighter, beams and also lowersthe cost versus traditional building methods. The speed of installation of PRECAST bridgebeams is a key benefit when contractors are planning majo r road developments. Theprestressed beams manufactured in the facility can also be used in the construction of multi-storey car parks, commercial developments, jetties and marine decks concrete parapets can be supplied by CONCAST and fixed on site.

6 Precastconcrete removes the necessity for complicated formwork, steel-fixing and pouring whichis required for traditional insitu pa rapets. The required fixings or sockets for projectingbars may be provided as part of the bridge beam and cast in during the productionstage. TY5-18mMedium span bridges, car parks, jetties and marinedecks. TYE5-18mGenerally used as edge beams to the TY voided bridge deck for medium and long spanroad bridge construction. Y 14-31mMedium and long span bridge and long span bridge beams. YE is generally used as edge beams to the Y for skewed structures, good with torsion.
