An ideal solution for remote private and public applications,
the Tricon Plank-Deck™ Bridge System delivers safe, fexible and
economical options for rapid bridge deployment. With minimal
equipment and manpower required, this precast concrete bridge
system can be erected and in use in one day. Once again, Tricon’s
customer-centric approach to solving on-site construction
challenges has delivered a proven winner in the feld.
The Tricon Plank-Deck™ Bridge System consists of standardized
precast concrete components; abutment/bent footings, riser
sections and plank-deck slabs. The plank-deck elements
incorporate the driving surface which means that no topping
or wearing surface is required after installation. With the
superstructure manufactured entirely of precast concrete, there is
no cast in place concrete required on site. All standardized elements
are sized to enable delivery to site in legal weight truckloads and
the entire structure to be constructed and erected with a medium-
sized track-hoe (Hyundai 380 or equivalent) and minimal personnel.
These attributes make the Tricon Plank-Deck™ Bridge System ideal
for remote locations and rapid deployment.
