MORE INFORMATION

Concast is proud to be the licensed manufacturer of the CON/SPAN System for the Ontario region, offering an innovative and pre-engineered precast arch system that is ideal for a wide range of infrastructure applications. This system is specifically designed for the efficient construction of small bridges, culverts, underground containment structures, and many other applications, providing a cost-effective, high-performance solution for transportation and water management projects.

Span Range and Customization

The CON/SPAN system is designed to offer a variety of spans, ensuring it meets the needs of different project sizes and specifications. The product span ranges from 3.66 meters to 14.64 meters, making it suitable for both small and large applications. The system can be further customized with various vertical rises and section lengths, providing flexibility in design to accommodate the specific requirements of each project. The ability to adjust span lengths and rises ensures that the system can be used in both short-distance and long-distance crossings, making it a valuable tool in a range of infrastructure scenarios.

Curved and Multi-Span Configurations

BENEFITS

Great Aesthetics with a unique arch geometry
Maximum Life Cycle Design using concrete materials
Quality Assurance provided by quality control programs
Significant Time and Cost savings over cast-in-place alternatives.

One of the key advantages of the CON/SPAN system is its flexibility in alignment. The precast arch units can be adapted to curved or skewed alignments, with varying radii or skews, enabling them to complement the natural flow of waterways or terrain. This feature makes the system an excellent choice for projects where straight-line construction is not feasible or aesthetically desirable.

Additionally, the system can be configured in multiple span arrangements to accommodate longer crossings or sites where a single span is not practical. The modular nature of the CON/SPAN system makes it easy to combine multiple units to create longer, continuous structures, providing both strength and versatility.

Optional Components for Complete System Integration

The CON/SPAN system is designed to be a fully integrated solution. In addition to the precast arch units, Concast offers a range of optional components to further enhance the system’s performance and functionality:

Precast Footings: These are essential for providing a stable foundation for the arch units, ensuring the structure remains secure and durable. Precast footings are designed to be set quickly, streamlining the installation process and reducing on-site construction time.
Headwalls: Precast headwalls are used at the inlet and outlet of the system to control water flow, prevent erosion, and improve the overall hydraulic performance of the structure. Headwalls can also be designed to match the specific needs of your project, whether you’re working in a rural or urban environment.
Wingwalls: Wingwalls are used to support the arch and provide additional soil retention, especially in areas where the soil conditions may be unstable. They help stabilize the surrounding environment and ensure the long-term integrity of the structure.

These optional components can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each project, providing a complete, integrated system that simplifies design and construction while maintaining the highest standards of performance.

Why Choose the CON/SPAN System?

Efficient and Cost-Effective Construction: The pre-engineered nature of the CON/SPAN system allows for quick, set-in-place installation, reducing construction time and costs. With minimal need for on-site fabrication, it also helps reduce the amount of on-site disruption, which is particularly beneficial in sensitive environments or locations with high traffic.
Durability and Longevity: Made from high-strength precast concrete, the CON/SPAN system is built to withstand the elements, including heavy traffic loads, extreme weather conditions, and water flow pressures. This durability ensures that your bridge, culvert, or containment structure will remain functional for decades, with minimal maintenance required.
Environmental Compatibility: The CON/SPAN system is an environmentally friendly solution, as it can be designed to complement natural watercourses and preserve the surrounding ecosystem. The ability to adapt to curved alignments and fit into existing landscapes means less disruption to natural habitats and more sustainable project outcomes.
Customizable to Meet Any Need: Whether you need a single span for a small culvert or a multi-span configuration for a long bridge crossing, the CON/SPAN system can be customized to fit your exact specifications. The range of span options, rise variations, and optional components provides unmatched flexibility.
Compliance with Local Codes and Standards: As a licensed manufacturer, Concast ensures that all CON/SPAN products are designed to meet local codes and industry standards, ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance for your project.
