Hart County Bridge
Project: Hart County Bridge
Location: Hart County, KY
Details: Encore produced and delivered the Hart County Bridge, which replaced a one-lane bridge in rural Kentucky. The bridge consisted of 3 box beams, each 21″ high x 48″ wide x 45′ long. KYTC specified guardrail inserts were cast into the beam and guardrails were installed at the plant. Due to the remote location and winding roads leading to the site, steerable trailers were used to safely deliver the 45′ long beams. As is typical for beams of this size, the release strength was 5500 psi and the design strength was 7000 psi.
Dayton Parallel
Project: Dayton Parallel
Location: Dayton, OH
Details: The Dayton Parallel project was developed and designed to provide redundancy in the sanitary sewer system trunk line for the city of Dayton, Ohio. This project consisted of over a mile of 8’x6’ and 12’x4’ gasketed box culvert, casted to .040” tolerances to ensure proper seal between each piece. The box culvert was installed next to a river, so the gasketed connection was routinely tested to 13 psi to ensure the proper seal was being maintained. Additionally, the boxes had an integral chevron flow channel in the bottom and were designed to overcome potential buoyancy issues that could occur during flood events which would overtop the box culvert.
KYTC Arch Bridge
Project: KYTC Arch Bridge
Location: Louisville, KY
Details: Encore fabricated 96 ft long three sided arch bridge spanning 36 feet, wing walls, and headwalls. This arch bridge was manufactured and designed to replace an existing bridge. Part of the scope of work included demolition of the existing footer and casting a new footer. After demolition of the old bridge, the contractor found that the existing footer had minimal issues. Our engineers researched and designed slight modifications to the existing footer in order to support the new arch bridge, saving the owner significant expense.
