HumeSlab® Bridge Decking

The HumeSlab® system is a unique permanent formwork solution that combines precast concrete panels with an in-situ concrete topping. The HumeSlab® panel forms the bottom portion of the slab and provides a working platform for the deck above, offering a cost-effective method of maintaining the structural integrity of a monolithic slab.

The HumeSlab® system is ideal for heavy-duty bridge decks and localised load areas, as it readily accommodates varied designs, shapes, thicknesses, penetrations and cast-in fittings. Precast concrete panels are typically 55mm to 100mm thick and incorporate the bottom reinforcement of the slab, with specially designed steel trusses to increase spans between temporary props. Panels are generally limited to 12m in length to facilitate transport and handling.
