Humes’ prestressed concrete solutions have been widely used in deck construction for major wharf structures. 

These components are designed for ease of installation, long-term durability and cost-effective performance in demanding marine environments.

Prestressed Decks and Girders

Humes manufactures a wide range of prestressed bridge and wharf componentry, including girders, decks, planks, I-beams and hexagonal prestressed piles. These prestressed products are suitable for applications ranging from major bridge and wharf infrastructure through to minor infrastructure works, with Humes’ in-house engineering team able to design non-standard items where required.

Humes is an accredited manufacturer of prestressed structures for road and rail authorities, supplying decks and planks (up to 25m), Super-T girders/T-Roffs (up to 35m) and I-beams.
