Axion’s RSC material will be used in the construction of a plastic bridge in the US.
The bridge will be about 26ft widex15ft long and will be used to replace an existing concrete box culvert.
The bridge has been designed to meet AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) LRFD Specifications for HL-93 vehicular load.
Axion has secured the contract through the existing relationship with its sales representative Innovative Green Solutions.
The bridge is adjacent to the historic York River and is located on a town road to the West of York Harbor.
The bridge, which will consist of a single-span, with curbing, abutment headwalls and wingwalls, was commissioned by the town of York and designed and reviewed by engineering consulting firms Parsons Brinckerhoff and CLD Consulting Engineers, and will be constructed by Maritime Construction and Engineering.
The bridge is planned to be fully manufactured and installed before Maine’s winter season in this year.
Axion is a producer of industrial building products and railroad ties made from 100% recycled plastic and plastic composites.
