Fabrication of Prestressed Concrete Beam near the site 16 to 20th March 2014


The road reserve site infront of Mr Majawin's house was levelled with road quality crusher run and used as the fabrication site of the 30 m long prestressed concrete beam for the new bridge.
The bottom width is 660mm forming the lower flange, while the top is 410 mm.  Forgot to note down the thickness of web.
The overall depth of beam is about 2 m, while the designed weight is 45.4 tons using grade 50Mpa concrete. There are three strands of steel prestressing tendons of 15.2mm diam to be placed at the lower half. More photos will be taken once these are placed into the beams.
For the time being the workers are only preparing the forms and the rebars on site as per below.
