I-Girders
These are standard precast, prestressed I-Beam sections. They are used in conjunction with an insitu deck slab which acts compositely with the girders. The girders produce a pleasing appearance and are suitable for long-span (13m to 35m) bridges. They are also versatile in that they may be used in applications like industrial floor supports. They can be easily increased in width to cater for railway loadings, mining applications and the like, where high shear capacity is required.

Broad-Flange Girders
Broad-Flange Girders are precast, prestressed I-Beams with wide, extended flanges. They are used in conjunction with a deck slab which acts compositely with the girders. The wide top flanges reduce the amount of formwork required for the insitu deck slab. The bottom flanges, when abutted, produce a flush soffit presenting minimum resistance to flood waters. In cut-and-cover tunnels, they easily achieve high fire-resistance ratings. When used with cottom flanges abutting they provide simple and speedy erection with minimum formwork and site labour. Broad-flange girders are suitable for high-shear capacity and long-span (15m to 30m) applications.
