Voided slabs are a type of concrete slab that utilizes lightweight materials, such as polystyrene, polyurethane, etc., embedded during the casting process to create hollow voids. The advantages of using this method are that it reduces the weight and cost of materials, and improves structural performance due to the voids acting as a buffer against shrinkage and warping.

Deck panels are precast concrete units that are used to form decks and flooring in a variety of structures, including bridges, parking garages, and buildings. The benefits of using precast concrete deck panels include the ability to create a durable, long-lasting, and cost-effective deck or flooring solution. They are quick and easy to install, and they help to reduce construction costs and labour.

Railroad box beams provide an ideal solution for bridge construction when access is limited and a fast turnaround time is of the essence. Built with precast, prestressed concrete, these reinforced beams offer increased strength and stability. In addition, box beams are easily transportable and can be quickly installed when replacing an old bridge with a new one – something that’s especially beneficial when a rail line has a limited window to be taken out of service. By utilizing railroad box beams, pile caps, backwalls, and wingwalls as a total precast concrete bridge replacement, the speed of the process is greatly accelerated, resulting in faster completion and more efficient use of time.

Pile caps are essential components in the construction of beam structures, providing support to steel piles and precast box beams. These durable caps transfer the load of the beams down to the piles securely, ensuring that your structure is stable and reliably supported.

Backwalls are reinforced concrete structures that provide support and soil retention in various applications. Backwalls are erected behind a retaining wall, and can be single, solid structures or stepped walls.

Wingwalls are similar to backwalls but at an angle, and provide extra strength and stability to help prevent erosion and collapse. They also protect the base of the retaining wall from water damage and weathering.

The infrastructure use of UHPC in precast piling and beams offers several advantages over traditional concrete and steel piles including lighter weight, easier handling, reduced risk of damage during driving, and less labor required during field driving. Additionally, UHPC offers higher load capacities and lower life-cycle costs due to its high durability.
