jaw companies possess the necessary resources, skills of knowledge, or offer the Jnvels of experiencs and expertise required to. supply the specialised, high pertarmance factory engineered concrete products so essential 10 modem elvil engineering projects, ‘At Tarmac Precast Gonerete our team of qualified designers and engineers coupled with experienced technical sales Staff and the latest manufacturing facilitias enable our range of bridge beams and precast concrete components to be specified with ‘absolute confidence, From the initial enquiry through ta delivery of high ‘qualily precast concrete units to meet construction programmes our dedicated team of specialists ensures that the finished product meets specified requirements in design, performance, tolerances and ‘quality of manufacture, In-nouse designers use specialised GAD systems to ensure that every detail of the specification is satisfied. Computer controlled manufacturing processes, sophisticated testing procedures and ‘stringent quality control procedures which comply with BS EN [SO 9001: 1904, the intemationally recognised quality assurance standard, mean that the product ‘specified Is the product received. ‘And the service doesn't end at design and manufacture. Sales support and technical advisory staff provide invaluable assistance at every stage of the project from advising on the right beam to select from our extensive range through to on-site advice an installation. All providing you with the assurance you ‘expect from the industry's host outstanding conpany.Precast Concrete Precast conerete offers sigr ‘other materials fer the entire construction team. It icant advantages over enables units to be manufactured to precise tolerances and, where requi ed, tested prior to installation. Units manufactured from precast concrete are quick and easy to instal, minimising on-site labour time and, unlike in-situ concrete, enable construction elements to perform their function immediately without waiting for concrete to set Precast concrete can also achieve significant cost savings, net only in terms of initial eenstruction costs but also through the low levels of maintenance required aver the life of a project. Whole life costing of components such as prestressed precast concrete bridge beams has highlighted the material's val ue When compared w i alternative steel or in-situ solutions. This principle, particularly im comparisons ‘with steel, has bean recognised by the Deparment of ‘Transport and is of great significance as contractors undertake design, Build, finanoa and operate projects.Contents TY Beam TY Beam with rebate TYE Beam T Beam ¥ Beam YE Beam SY Beam M Beam UM Beam U Beam 2 8 5 Span Range (In metres) Page Wii 1111 © 8 i 42 44 $0 og ae ne on a an a2 ae ae aD 4 i 1” | nl op at at a6 a9 99 a5 24 on on ae t0-12 U6 96 99 99 a2 28 at 30 ot oe oe a | to-s2 te 6 1a a0 27 a4 38 3H St Ok 38 36 Ao i | HRHNeN RADU!
