• FiberSPAN Ped Bridge Deck Design Features.  FRP deck panels used for a Pedestrian and Utility bridge in British Columbia. Good video describing how FRP deck panels allow functional design to incorporate different feature requirements. Some examples of features are: shape and size of panels as needed, crown in panel top surface for drainage, integrally molded curbs, imbedded steel and anchor bolts in curb for attaching railing, molded slots/cavities as needed for attaching to beams, molded drainage drain openings and grates, access hatch openings and covers, and shop applied overlays depending on application.
