Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document describes the SpaanSpan™ Precast Concrete Through-Girder Bridge System, developed by The Fort Miller Co., Inc. in collaboration with Janssen & Spaans Engineering, Inc. This system is designed to improve under-clearance and minimize bridge approach work.
Specifications
The SpaanSpan™ system features post-tensioned edge girders that support precast drop-in deck panels. The superstructure's depth is limited to the thickness of these panels. The system is jointless and post-tensioned in both transverse and longitudinal directions, enhancing its structural integrity and reducing maintenance costs.
Advantages
  • Improved under-clearance
  • Minimized approach work
  • Accommodation of skews
  • Variable deck widths
  • Greater internal redundancy
  • High resistance to impact
Installation Procedure
  1. Erect edge girders
  2. Drop in deck panels
  3. Cast edge and end closure pours
  4. Post-tension and grout edge girders and deck panels
  5. Install barrier
  6. Overlay deck panels
Post-tensioning ducts are visible before edge and end closure pours are completed. The system allows for traffic maintenance under the structure during construction, except for brief periods during element erection.
Case Studies
Examples include the Hook Road Bridge in Rochester, NY, and the Sedley Bridge in Porter County, Indiana, showcasing the system's application and benefits.
