Pedestrian passage and animal crossings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOptimized design procedure<\/h2>\n
The TechSpan\u00ae solution, while sophisticated in terms of design is simple for planners and builders to incorporate into their projects. These structures are designed to accommodate high fills, heavy live loads, as well as alternating loading conditions imposed during both installation and in service conditions.<\/p>\n
Each\u202fTechSpan\u00ae\u202fstructure is specifically designed, structurally and geometrically for your application. Finite element model analysis design (FEM) accurately defines the optimal radius of curvature of the arch to minimize tensile stresses. Our approach results in slender concrete sections with optimized reinforcement for maximum safety in design and construction, with long service life at the lowest possible cost to the builder and end user.<\/p>\n
Optimized manufacturing processes<\/h2>\n
Using our unique flexible concrete precasting formwork and quality-controlled casting process results in finished elements that conform to any and all geometric and material quality specifications.<\/p>\n
Our design and material supply package often includes materials required to construct the necessary retaining structures for wing walls and spandrels, and also other precast solutions including footings, copings, barriers and slip joints.<\/p>\n
Optimized installation procedures<\/h2>\n
Requiring only a narrow footprint to build, TechSpan\u00ae installation is simple, rapid and predictable requiring only a small work crew, light tools and conventional equipment. Erection rates of 10 to 20 linear meters of arch per shift are easily possible with only a single crane with operator, while the use of two cranes with operator will speed production at the initial start of installation.<\/p>\n
The TechSpan\u00ae solution eliminates the need for intensive onsite formwork, scaffolding, joints or bearings. Installation over active roadways, railways, waterways and conveyance systems is possible without disruption to the ongoing activity.<\/p>\n
The abbreviated installation procedure consists of the following steps:<\/p>\n
\n- Establishing keyway foundations<\/li>\n
- Receiving and arranging arch segments<\/li>\n
- Segment placement by crane(s)<\/li>\n
- Grouting of segments into the keyway<\/li>\n
- Pouring of a crown beam or stitch joint<\/li>\n
- Applying joint cover or waterproofing<\/li>\n
- Backfilling per approved guidelines and specifications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
