Projects:

Rio Grande Bridge, Portland Jamaica

The project comprised the installation of a two-lane road bridge over a large river to replace the previous bridge which was partly destroyed by Hurricane Dennis in 2005

The project was completed using EMJ’s GRP Permadec® Formwork system as the solution for the bridge deck formwork.  The steel beams that provide the bearing for the panels were prepared with EMJ sealant prior to the panels then being laid in position providing a seal between panel and beam to avoid any grout loss when casting the deck.

Key facts:

  • New two-lane road bridge spanning 230 meters across the Rio Grande River
  • The project consisted of steel sub-structured and RC deck systems
  • EMJ designed, detailed, manufactured and delivered all GRP Permadec panels to site
