Press Brake Formed Girder Systems at AT&F

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) estimates that over 9% of short span bridges in America are structurally deficient (requiring yearly inspection and maintenance) and that over 188 million trips take place across these bridges every day. Replacing these problematic bridges has become a national priority for meeting infrastructure goals. The challenge rests in providing a cost-effective structural solution while minimizing traffic diversions by reducing bridge construction times.

From the Floor - Bridge Girder Fabrication Part 3 - Galvanization

This is the third part in a series of posts about fabrication work that we do for the bridge industry including long forming and welding. In Part 1 we showed a photo of the formed bridge girder and in Part 2 we showed the same girder after it had studs welded onto it. The photo below shows the girder during the galvanization process which is performed to inhibit rust on the component.

From the Floor - Bridge Girder Fabrication Part 2 - Welding

In our last post about short span bridge girders we showed some photos of the tub girders after we formed them in our long single ram press. In another process, we weld studs onto the bridge girders as shown in the photo below.

AT&F is BIG in Bridge – Awarded AISC certification

CLEVELAND (May 8, 2015) — AT&F, one of the world’s leading large-scale metal fabricators, has been awarded certification by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). This now allows AT&F to perform work on a variety of bridge projects requiring an AISC-certified contractor and expands the ways in which AT&F can serve its customers.

Right On Track: Introducing the Largest Press Brake in North America

Superior infrastructure requires superior technology. AT&F now offers high-speed railway system manufacturers the largest, most advanced press brake in North America. Our press brake has the power, precision and flexibility you need to develop high-quality transport infrastructures.

Bridging the Gap in Orthotropic Deck and Bridge Components

Today's bridge deck designers and structural fabricators are increasingly opting for orthotropic bridge decks because they allow creating stronger, lighter deck assemblies. AT&F produces steel bridge fabrication services and custom fabricated products for a growing array of components for deck sections, including V-shaped rib sections, I-beams, and T-beams. We also supply a variety of other structural components, such as caissons and cofferdams for bridge pier construction. But why choose
AT&F for Fabrication of Structural Steel?
