WORLD LEADING PRECAST MODULAR BRIDGE – INSTALL IN A DAY, LASTS A CENTURY
There are over 7,000 CON/SPAN B-Series installations since 1983. CON/SPAN Bridge Systems have been used by more state DOTs than any other system. Spans range from 12’ to 60’ with rises from 3’ to 14’ and each system comes complete with precast headwalls and wingwalls. Ideal for stream crossings and minimizing waterway disturbances, which means less permit exposure for you and your client. When a larger span-to-rise ratio is needed, CON/SPAN can be an extremely effective answer. Modular construction means simple and fast installations.
THE CONTECH DESIGN CENTER
The Contech Design Center provides engineers unparalleled flexibility in the layout and configuration of a Contech Bridge System. Our latest release includes options previously unavailable in a free, web-based design tool :
- Design multiple systems per project and save for future use.
- Provide instant access to customized, project-specific drawings.
- The ability to import a PDF site plan and design a system to scale over the plan.
- A 2D/3D design environment with high resolution graphics including BIM model output.
- Digitally collaborate using the new “Project Collaboration” feature. Share your project easily with anyone through the new project management page.
APPLICATIONS
PRECAST STRUCTURES FOR CULVERTS, CANALS AND ENCLOSURES
Our CON/SPAN O-Series, B-Series and BEBO structures provide a total set-in-place construction solution for culverts and stream enclosures.
PRECAST STRUCTURES FOR MINING PORTALS, RAIL TUNNELS AND CONVEYOR ENCLOSURES
Our durable CON/SPAN and BEBO structures can meet heavy duty demands for industrial or mining applications. CON/SPAN and BEBO structures can be adapted for use in tunnel applications or improving mine entrances. The arch shape is also ideal for supporting aggregate piles and can be designed to accommodate site specific openings and equipment requirements.
Underpasses and overpasses can be designed using Cooper E-80 loading, and these prefabricated systems allow for fast installation and easily accommodate staged construction methods for busy, active railroad tracks.
