The Project:
The Bonner Bridge Replacement project has finally broken ground
after years of delays. The bridge is the main link between Hatteras
Island and the North Carolina mainland.
The Challenge:
Coastal Precast Systems is supplying the precast products
including beams, columns, square piles, pier caps and segmental
sections. The project also called for 54-inch precast/prestressed
cylindrical piles.
The Solution:
Hamilton Form supplied formwork for the precast products includ-
ing a cylindrical pile form. The form is made in two parts. The top
bolts onto the base form and is removed for set-up and stripping.
Coil rods through the exterior of the form act as void hold ups and
hold downs for the hydraulically collapsible core that forms the
void. Voids were built in various lengths to be assembled to cast
piles from 94 to 138 feet.
The formwork solution facilitates ease of set-up and stripping.
Forms were delivered on time to help Coastal Precast meet an
aggressive delivery schedule.
The next time you need hard-working, practical
formwork solutions, call on Hamilton Form to deliver.

"The form is easy to set-up and the interior void
collapses just as intended. The surface finish of
the product is beautiful and the form has met –
no, exceeded all expectations."
