"L.B. Foster's recent capital
investment and resource allocation toward this product line
position it well to support this very important project and to
further expand its role in improving our nation's transportation
infrastructure. The use of L.B. Foster permanent metal deck forms
for this unique and critical bridge rehabilitation program
facilitates key objectives of the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project
initiative," said Chris Davis, L.B. Foster Fabricated Bridge
Products Sales Manager. L.B. Foster's bridge deck forms are
produced at the company's Bedford, PA plant and are ideal for
permanent application on bridge projects where quick and
cost-effective installation processes are required.
The State of Pennsylvania's
public-private approach is designed to expedite the redevelopment
of unsafe bridges, lessen construction costs and minimize the
impact of highway closures. The use of permanent metal deck forms
is an efficient approach to bridge deck construction and will help
to support the program's goals. L.B. Foster corrugated forms are
custom fabricated to individual bridge specifications and can be
incorporated with pre-stressed concrete beams, built-up girders or
steel beam bridges.
