Cast-in-place steel reinforced concrete is a durable, strong and low-maintenance construction choice for vital transportation infrastructure. For highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, transit facilities and other structures, cast-in-place reinforced concrete is an economical, durable and aesthetically versatile construction alternative.
Reinforced concrete provides both lower initial cost and longer life-cycle savings. Building materials are locally available for faster project starts and completion, and less building maintenance is required over a longer period of duration; all resulting in higher revenues for clients.
Because of the redundancy built into cast-in-place reinforced concrete construction, it is fire, weather, and blast resistant, making it an especially durable choice for building in areas of high-risk for natural phenomena—hurricanes, tornadoes, and seismic activity—and for terrorism.
The architectural appeal of cast-in-place concrete construction is widely recognized. An unlimited array of curvilinear shapes, forms, colors, and surface textures and patterns enable maximum flexibility and creative architectural expression.
