PCI Girders

PCI Bridge Girders are widely used for any construction of bridge, wharf , flyover and
many other applications. PC Bridge girdrs have two types : Pre - tensioned girders and
post - tensioned girders. In pre tensioned girders , prestressing in carried out first then
after that the fresh concrete poured In post-tensioned girder , the strand conduits
arrangement is carried out first and then concreting done after ward .The prestressing
process in only carried of after the concrete has sufficient strength.
ADVANTAGES
-Prime Strength and Quality
High concrete strength and accurate mold are used to make BPI's Bridge girder have
prime quality
- Economical
The application of prestressing force and high strength concrete make the BPI's girder
able to with stand large bending moment with only small deflection occur . As a result,
the required dimension of the girder could be made much more economical
- Flexible Operation
Selection of the prestressing system depends on the site condition . If the required girders
are very long causing difficult in transportation, concreting and prestressing could be
made on site
