Bridge Beams
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.

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 developments. The
prestressed beams manufactured in the facility can also be used in the construction of multistorey car parks, commercial developments, jetties and marine decks etc.

Applications

TY

5-18m

Medium span bridges, car parks, jetties and marine

decks.

TYE

5-18m

Generally used as edge beams to the TY Beam.

16-29m

Provides voided bridge deck for medium and long span

road bridge construction.

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 Beam.

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.

Introducing the Concast Super U (CSU) Beam

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.

Note: The above table provides a guide only, the Concast design office should be consulted in relation to specific technical
requirements for individual contracts.

The Concast team has designed and developed the Concast Super U beam (CSU) in
consultation with engineering firm Mott MacDonald. Subsequent to rigorous third party
testing and approval, the CSU has been successfully erected on numerous National Roads
Authority (NRA) bridge schemes.

Parapets
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.

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.

Bridge Decks
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)

Omnia Slab

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 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
developments 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.

Retaining Wall Units

Concasts 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.

Concasts 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.

10

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.
