The principles of this beam are similar to those of the regular duct beam. To meet the visual requirements of the road design, these beams are curved horizontally. The smooth lines result in an attractive appearance.
Points of attention include radius and weight. Too small a radius may result in the risk of the duct beam tipping over, necessitating expensive anti-tilting provisions. This may partly be solved by broadening the precast elements to make sure the centre of gravity falls within the precast element. Please contact us if you need your specific design customised.
