TechBox\u2122 is an engineered site-specific solution for building robust \u201cbox-type\u201d bridging of single or multi-span underpasses, small bridges and cut-and-cover passageways.<\/p>\n<\/div>
These structures are built using precision-made segmental precast concrete sections that are assembled at the jobsite. The use of pre-engineered forming moulds, quality-controlled manufacturing, and pre-planned installation procedures reduce jobsite work duration. The TechBox\u2122 solution results in quicker, safer and more efficient completion at the jobsite as compared with the unpredictable nature of cast-in-place alternatives.<\/p>\n
The design is carried out using the finite element modelling method (FEM). Through this method, the concrete section sizes and reinforcement designs are optimized resulting in the thinnest, yet most durable sections possible. The FEM modelling analyses consider the following, but not limited to:<\/p>\n
Reinforced Earth engineers and project managers are specialists in developing, manufacturing, handling and delivery procedures for precast concrete solutions on a worldwide basis. Precasting operations are performed in a quality-controlled plant environment, either offsite requiring transport, or performed at the jobsite.<\/p>\n
Our engineers will normally manage the design and fabrication of the specific precast forming moulds to precisely match with the optimized design of the TechBox\u2122 sections. We analyze the project site conditions, schedule constraints, working crew sizes, and availability of equipment, among other factors when developing the manufacturing activity sequence.<\/p>\n
The units required to assemble a TechBox\u2122 bridging section normally consist of three precast segmental units: two full-height side wall units and a roof slab unit. The full-height side walls closely resemble our TechWall\u2122<\/a> solution, although modified to include side stitch beams. The general steps for constructing TechBox\u2122 include:<\/p>\n Since earth retaining structures are normally required for wing walls or spandrels, these are often built using Reinforced Earth\u00ae,<\/a> TechWall\u2122<\/a>, T-Wall\u00ae<\/a> or other retaining wall solutions designed and furnished by Terre Arm\u00e9e and our subsidiaries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Terre Arm\u00e9e has been operating and managing major precast concrete plant operations and concrete forming mold fabrication worldwide for nearly 50 years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Due to its characteristics coupled with world-class engineering expertise, TechBox\u00ae has proven to be a very durable solution.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Using precast sections make it easier to organize safety at the jobsites through pre-planning and standardized procedures.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Terre Arm\u00e9e companies design and supply the TechBox™ precast concrete box solution for the construction of box bridges and culverts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":5765,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[150,77],"portfolio_skills":[],"portfolio_tags":[],"class_list":["post-5763","avada_portfolio","type-avada_portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-solutions-type","portfolio_category-techbox-precast-boxes"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
