Installation Process

1)

Transportation – Arch units arrive on flat-bed trucks ready for installation.

2)Arch Units – Bridge units are lifted off the truck, rotated and set on strip footings, a base slab, or a deep foundation system.
3)

Foundation – Hardwood wedges lock the arch in place on the footing until the keyway is grouted.

4)

Twin-Leaf Arches – Larger twin-leaf arches are joined by the patented BEBO crown joint.

5)Crown Joint – Twin-Leaf arches are temporarily joined by a tie rod and later made continuous by a closure pour.
6)

Joint Seal – Arch units are grouted in the keyway and joints are scaled using a commercial joint wrap.

7)

Wingwalls - Precast headwalls and wingwalls often facilitate an entire structure being set in one day.

8)Backfill – Concrete arch stiffness allows backfill to be placed and compacted quickly.
9)

Finished Bridge – The finished bridge is quickly ready for traffic. Many aesthetic end treatment options are available.
