Innovative Contracting Methods

• Contracts with cost

and time components (A+B) versus exclusively low bid contract

• Performance

contracting with specific performance requirements

• Design-Build-Finance

“ABC” Accelerated Bridge Construction

• Precast bridge

elements

• Building

bridges and moving them into place

• Scheduling to

reduce customer delays

An Illustration of ABC (Accelerated Bridge Construction)

Parkview Avenue over US-131

Demolition Took Place at Night with Maximum 5 Minute Freeway Closure

Beam removal was done at night allowing for a maximum of 5 minute lane closures

All Bridge Components were Precast Concrete

Abutment Placement

This abutment segment took 8 minutes to place

Placement of the Pier Caps

Prestressed I -Beams were Placed at Night

The Bridge Deck was Made of Precast Concrete Panels

48 deck panels were placed in four days

A Hot-Mix Asphalt Wearing Surface was Placed on the Deck

Waterproof membrane and 1 ½ inch lift

• f hot mix asphalt (HMA) placed on top
• f the concrete deck panels

Before After

Self-Propelled Modular Transporters

• Used to move entire

bridge spans into place

• Reduces roadway

closure time

• Less impact to the

traveling public

Bridge Preservation

• Epoxy Overlays
• n bridge decks
• Zinc-based

primer paint systems for steel beams

• Acrylic coatings

for concrete elements

Durable Bridges for Service Life Beyond 100 Years

• Innovative

materials and designs

• Protecting

bridges with preventive maintenance

I nnovative Materials Designed for Maximum Durability

• Non-corrosive

materials

– Carbon fiber reinforced composites – New alloys of stainless steel

• Ultra-ductile,

high-performance concrete

Column Wrapping with Fiber Reinforced Polymer sheets
