Abstract:Many states have instituted Prefabricated Bridge Elements and Systems
(PBES) and Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) projects to decrease
onsite construction time, work zone and user costs, and increase safety
factors; however, the quality and long-term benefit of PBES units produced
is of concern to the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA).
Incomplete and noncompliant inspection processes and nonexistent waste
management procedures not only affect the quality and durability (long-term
performance) of PBES units produced but can also increase costs and waste
time.
