Advantages of precast concrete in highway infrastructure construction

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Prefabrication of any structure component off-site during highway construction (or reconstruction) offers major time and user cost savings in comparison with the traditional cast-in-place methods of construction. Precast prestressed road pavements’ technology offers dramatic increase in durability, while it also substantially decreases construction time and user costs. Precasting bridges’ parts and elements offsite is also very beneficial as bridges are generally among the most expensive objects constructed and also serve as a natural bottleneck for the traffic flows and so speeding up the construction process is beneficial again. It also brings substantial safety advantages, lowers disruption to traffic and increases overall convenience for the road users. But this technologically, economically and environmentally advantageous approach also has its opponents – prevailingly from the contractors’ side due to inability to create every project unique and so with higher possible mark-up. Objective of this paper is to analyze and appraise the advantages and benefits of the innovative prefabrication approach in contrast to traditional cast-in-place construction method and to come up with the set of conclusions and recommendations for the general practice.
