BGC Precast develop bridge beam capability
Precast
BGC Precast has recently
established a new stressing bed
to manufacture prestressed
bridge beams to supply BGC
Contracting and other
contractors on Water
Corporation’s Bridge
Replacement Program.
This follows BGC Contracting being
awarded two contracts with Water
Corporation to replace five bridges in
Western Australia’s South West region.
BGC Contracting saw an opportunity for
the BGC Group to build capability and
worked with BGC Precast to establish
the new stressing bed.
BGC Precast Business Development
Manager Phil Surridge said it had
become increasingly clear that the
business required the capability to
manufacture its own prestressed beams,
a useful co-product to its hollowcore
flooring.
To do so, BGC Precast turned its eye to a
collection of old shutters, left over from
a previous project. With some innovative
thinking, the team converted scrap
materials into a state-of-the-art
stressing bed, including heating pipes
for accelerated curing.
The end product is a concrete beam that
is lighter, more cost effective and easy
to transport. Production commenced
earlier this year to deliver 52 specialised
bridge beams to BGC Contracting.
“This is an exciting
development for us. It’s
been challenging to meet
Contracting’s timeframe,
but it’s an outstanding
result and we now have a
great solution in place
for future orders.”
