Case Study: Haffonfield Borough Pedestrian Bridge Replacement | PCI Mid-Atlantic

“The client needed the installation to be completed with minimal site disturbance and for the bridge to be strong and durable enough to last for many years of use. Precast beams fit the bill perfectly.”
- William Castle, founder and president, W.J. Castle, P.E. & Associates

Learn more about how precast, prestressed concrete is the material of choice for many transportation agencies across the country in their work on bridges, parking garages, and other transportation-related structures. Countless transportation projects benefit from precast concrete and construction methods like accelerated bridge construction (ABC).

Precast concrete advantages include:

• Accelerated bridge construction techniques.
• Better quality control with prefabricated components arriving just in time for installation.
• Limited roadway or other types of closures and minimized traffic disruption.
• Design flexibility meeting structure depth and long-term maintenance requirements.
• Decreased downtime and increased safety around construction areas.
• Aesthetically pleasing features that integrate with the surrounding area.
• Innovative designs that incorporate non-traditional features and materials, such as high strength and ultra-high-performance concrete.
