Keep roads open – and keep maintenance to a minimum.

The United States has over 47,000 deficient bridges in use, with some roads closed due to critical deterioration. In response, infrastructure experts across the country are choosing bridge replacement options that minimize disruption to traffic flow and deliver superior longevity.

The Valmont^® Structures Con-Struct^™ Prefabricated Bridge System is the ideal solution to your long-term planning needs with its projected service life of 100 years. Increased efficiency during the manufacturing process ensures your bridge can be produced quickly and shipped on time. Once delivered, our bridges can be installed in just one day, which reduces construction shutdowns and lowers your cost.

The design you need for the longevity you deserve.

Proven Performance

Cold-bent steel tub girders have been independently researched and tested by both Michigan State University and West Virginia University. Valmont Structures Con-Struct meets all AASHTO LRFD requirements and has been used and approved for both state D.O.T. and FHWA funded projects.

Reduced Maintenance & Cost

The steel tub girder can be hot-dip galvanized, protecting the steel from corrosion and providing over 75 years of maintenance-free protection. That's not your average girder.
Because we partially assemble our system before shipping, our prefabricated bridges can be delivered and installed at less cost than that of conventionally constructed steel or concrete beam bridges.

Faster Construction

Our superstructure can be erected and ready for traffic in a single day! Each unit is raised similar to that of precast concrete beams and designed for simple-span dead load and vehicular live load. Valmont Structures Con-Struct units are prefabricated with the final driving surface. Once placed, individual units can be secured together by a mechanical lateral steel connection or Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) and opened to traffic

Controlled Construction

We eliminate field form, finish and curing by pre-casting the concrete deck. That deck is manufactured in a controlled casting environment, providing better quality and a more durable product for one of the most critical elements of the bridge.

Superior Bridge Deck

Our innovative fabrication process eliminates temperature and shrinkage cracks in the deck and provides superior protection of the underlying steel reinforcement. With Valmont Structures Con-Struct Prefabricated Bridge Systems, you can rest easy with a high-quality product.
