Fastcast bridges & gantries from Buchan Concrete Solutions have been developed to offer an economic 'whole life' solution for a wide range of civil engineering projects.

FASTCAST Bridges & Gantries are factory engineered, minimising cost, time and health and safety risks on site and are produced strictly in accordance with the Specification for Highway Works, Volume 1. Buchan produces a comprehensive range of bridges and gantries at its Byley factory, offering a bespoke service to suit the demands of any scheme.

In-house designers use specialised CAD systems to ensure that every detail of a specification is satisfied. Computer controlled manufacturing processes, sophisticated testing procedures and stringent quality controls guarantee that the specified product is the delivered product.

Buchan sales support and technical advisory staff provide invaluable assistance at every stage of a project’s life, from guidance on the appropriate beam of choice to on-site advice on installation. In terms of visual appearance, all Buchan products including deck elevations, parapets, piers, abutments and wing walls, can be designed using a range of treatments.

FASTCAST Bridges & Gantries from Buchan are often the first choice for contractors and designers as they are considered economical, both in terms of cost competitiveness and ease of installation.

Precast concrete offers significant advantages over other materials for the entire construction team. It enables units to be manufactured to precise tolerances and, when required, tested prior to installation.

Whole life costing of components, such as pre-stressed precast concrete bridge beams, has highlighted the material’s value when compared to alternatives including steel or in-situ solutions. This principle, particularly in comparison to steel, has been recognised by the Department of Transport and is of great significance as contractors undertake the design, build, finance and operation of any project.
