WHEN EVERY DAY AND EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS

FOLDEDSTEEL PLATEGIRDERBRINGING STEEL BACK TO SHORT SPAN BRIDGES.

FSPG™ is a revolutionary technology that can change how short-span bridges are constructed in the U.S. and around the world. FSPG™ provides a comparable initial cost to cast in place bridge construction while reducing construction time by one half.

GENERAL BENEFITS OF FSPG™

The Folded Steel Plate Girder System, or FSPG™, was created for Accelerated Bridge Construction. The system is simple and economical to build, can be constructed with fewer field personnel and opened to traffic quicker. When every day and every dollar counts, FSPG™ is the best solution.

The design features an open-box system for easy inspection and no internal or external cross-frames. Hot-dip galvanization or optional weathering steel provides superior corrosion protection.

Our superstructure can be erected in a few hours with deck closure pours completedin a day.

Less welding, little to no field splices, lack of cross-members, and ease of form workreduces labor costs. Our design reduces the superstructure weight. This reduces equipment costs and facilitates access in constrained construction areas.

REDUCED MAINTENANCE

REDUCEDLEAD TIMES

LOWER FIELD LABOR& EQUIPMENT COSTS

Our innovative design and advances in steel material results in a lighter weight productwith fewer components. The wide top flange eliminates the need for formwork forcast-in-place decks. Material is further reduced because there are no internal or externalcross-frames, bolts, or stiffeners required.

WHAT IS THE FOLDED STEEL PLATE GIRDER?

ABOUT CDR BRIDGE SYSTEMS, LLC.

The FSPG™ is an economical alternative for simple and short span bridge construction. The innovative yet simple design has a long service life, requires little maintenance, and is planned for accelerated project delivery.

Named one of the three most innovative concepts in 2009 by Modern Steel Construction magazine, its lightweight design reduces the need for heavy equipment and expedites on site construction. This reduces the impact on traffic from weeks or months to days.

Bridge innovation is our business. We continue to improve our design. For the next generation of FSPG™ we look to add:

1. Non-composite applications that use deck solutions other that concrete

2. Precast concrete deck panels that are grouted in position on site

3. Multi-span continuous applications
