Concrete Bridge Construction System

InQuik panels are much lighter than comparable precast parts, and can be easily placed in position using a HIAB or light-weight crane. The InQuik system is also fully self-supporting. It typically takes only a few days to install the bridge following site preparation.

The lightweight InQuik panels are designed to be efficiently stacked and transported in the form of a shipping container, to reduce transportation resources. All the panels for a 12 meter single-lane bridge can be transported on one semi-trailer.

With a single homogenous slab, guaranteed concrete cover and (depending on configuration) no deck joints, no longitudinal joins and no tie-downs or bearings, inspection and maintenance requirements are minimal.

Bridge parts are standardised, pre-engineered and pre-certified. Designs satisfy the AS5100 (2017) Australian bridge code requirements for T44 / SM1600 / HLP 320 & 400 load ratings, with an expected lifespan on the order of 100 years.

Bridge construction occurs from above, with minimal need to work under the bridge, improving worker safety and reducing environmental impact. There is no requirement to enter the waterway to erect scaffolds or formwork.
