Location: Grand Ballroom C
Speakers: Jonathan Karam, P.E. and Santiago Rodriguez, M.C.E., P.E. – DelDOT
Presentation Description:
Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) has been a hot topic in the Transportation industry. It has been one of the main focuses of DelDOT with many benefits; limiting the impact to the traveling public, speeding up the construction process and incorporating innovative designs to streamline project delivery. Pre-cast concrete structures are a key asset of ABC, providing ready-to-use structural components without the need for forming, curing and fabrication in the field. In this presentation, Santiago and I will be covering multiple projects that utilized ABC to replace bridges at a rapid pace in comparison to traditional construction.
