World Leading Precast Modular Bridge – Install in a Day, Lasts a Century
 CON/SPAN’s innovative, economical design stands apart from any other system. Its distinctive arch action utilizes fast, set-in-place construction; and your design and installation is backed by extensive technical support. Not surprisingly, CON/SPAN Bridge Systems have been evaluated, approved, and used by more state DOTs than any other system on the market today.
There are over 7,000 CON/SPAN installations since 1983. Spans range from 12’ to 60’ with rises from 3’ to 14’ and each system comes complete with precast headwalls and wingwalls. Ideal for stream crossings and minimizing waterway disturbances, which means less permit exposure for you and your client. When a larger span-to-rise ratio is needed, CON/SPAN can be an extremely effective answer. Modular construction means simple and fast installations.
Benefits of the CON/SPAN Bridge System:
- Buried Bridge Structure - Reduces maintenance costs and lowers life cycle costs as there are no bridge deck or joints at the deck/roadway interface.
- Modular Bridge System - Rapid installation results in reduced overall project costs, delays and detours.
- Designed “Site Specific” - Meets your site needs in full compliance with AASHTO and AREMA design standards for highway and railway use.
- Full Scale Load Tested - Verified engineering design methodology.
- Easy Site-Adaptability - Flexible layout options to fit within the right-of-way – curve the structure with a stream or adjust for vertical and horizontal clearance requirements.
- Manufactured in controlled environment with standardized components - Manufacturing is fast and efficient allowing us to offer a high quality yet cost-effective bridge option.

 Our CON/SPAN and BEBO structures are commonly used for grade separations. These systems are strong enough to carry massive off-highway and railroad loads and are available in shapes to accommodate critical clearance boxes
|
 CON/SPAN and BEBO have been used in a variety of applications for pedestrian structures, including bike paths, ski tunnels under roadways, and golf courses. With an aesthetic appeal, these systems can provide access either over roadways or sensitive areas or under highways, even in high-fill applications.
|
 When environmental factors are a consideration, CON/SPAN provides a natural choice because they offer clear spans from 12 to 60 feet with small footprints that minimize intrusion into natural areas. BEBO offers strength and stability, resulting in the largest precast arch spans available, allowing minimal impact to natural areas.
|
 CON/SPAN and BEBO structures can easily accommodate Heavy Equipment Transport (HET) loading and maintenance requirements and set-in-place installation makes them a great solution for stream crossings.
|
 Specifying CON/SPAN and BEBO bridges and underground structures for airport applications offers a number of advantages for airport designers. Fast installation shortens work schedules and disruptions, while the large load-carrying capacity of their arch is perfectly suited for high-load airport applications. CON/SPAN bridges have been used for airport taxiway underpasses and overpasses (easily bearing 747s, Antanov 225, and other heavy aircraft), runway extensions, as well as glycol storage tanks for de-icing solvents and tunnels for baggage tugs.
|
 Our durable CON/SPAN and BEBO structures can meet heavy duty demands for industrial or mining applications. CON/SPAN and BEBO structures can be adapted for use in tunnel applications or improving mine entrances. The arch shape is also ideal for supporting aggregate piles and can be designed to accommodate site specific openings and equipment requirements. Underpasses and overpasses can be designed using Cooper E-80 loading, and these prefabricated systems allow for fast installation and easily accommodate staged construction methods for busy, active railroad tracks.
|
 Our CON/SPAN and BEBO structures provide a total set-in-place construction solution for culverts and stream enclosures.
|
 The CON/SPAN and BEBO bridge structures can cost-effectively and quickly be installed to support concrete bridges that exhibit deterioration in the concrete superstructure and upper portions of the abutments – utilizing the existing foundation. In most cases, in a single day, the bridge arches can be positioned leaving the existing beam bridge and abutments in place.
|
 For bridge replacement or Design Build projects, our Precast bridge systems can substantially reduce design and construction time, improve safety and ensure quality components for long-term performance.
|
Underground vaults constructed with CONTECH’s precast concrete arch system include wine cellars and caves, and other unique storage applications. CON/SPAN offers classic cave designs using modern techniques. Underground vaults for wineries constructed with the CON/SPAN system provide many of the advantages of traditional cellars or natural wine caves. The great flexibility of the system allows earthen floors, multiple vaults placed side by side, and units that can be furnished with optional endwalls and headwalls.
|
 Our CON/SPAN and CON/STORM concrete stormwater detention solutions provide the versatility to accommodate any footprint need. The patented 3-sided arch structure is installed on a precast continuous foundation ensuring structural integrity and eliminating differential settlement.

SS Credit 1 – Site Selection, 1 Point
Intent – Avoid the development of inappropriate sites and reduce the environmental impact from the location of a building.
|
Potential Contribution: Bridge and Structures
- Long clear spans allow you to cross sensitive areas with little or no impact
- Maintain a 50-foot buffer on either side of the waterway
|
SS Credit 2 – Development Density and Community Connectivity, 2-5 Points
Intent – Channel development to urban areas with existing infrastructure, protect greenfields and preserve habitat and natural resources.
|
Potential Contribution: Bridges and Structures
-
Connect people and services over roads, under rail crossings and across streams
-
Shorten walking distance to basic services
-
Provide aesthetic solutions
|
SS Credit 4.1 – Alternative Transportation, Public Transportation Access, 1-6 Points
Intent – Reduce pollution and land development impacts from automobile use.
|
Potential contribution: Bridges and Structures
- Create bicycle trail connectivity - allowing alternative transportation mode
- Create shorter, safer pedestrian access to public transit
- Bring public transportation (i.e. railway) into a community with minimal impact to existing roads and grades
|
MR Credit 4 – Recycled Content, 1-2 Points
Intent – Increase the demand for building products that incorporate recycled content materials. The sum of post-consumer recycled content plus one-half of the pre-consumer content constitutes at least 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points), based on cost, of the total value of the materials in the project.
|
MR Credit 5.1 – Regional Materials, 1-2 Points
Intent – Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured locally to a job site in hopes to reduce the environmental impact that would result from transporting these goods. Products manufactured, extracted and recycled within 500 miles of the project site for a minimum of 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points), based on cost of the total materials value.
