US SPEC and the American Segmental Bridge Association

US SPEC is pleased to announce we have joined the American Segmental Bridge Institute (ASBI) as a Materials Supplier. ASBI is a nonprofit organization that provides a forum where owners, designers, constructors, and suppliers can meet to further refine current design, construction and construction management procedures, and evolve new techniques that will advance the quality and use of concrete segmental bridges.

ASBI is a focal point for the development of technical information for design and construction of segmental concrete bridges in the U.S. and countries around the world. Segmental bridges are now a multi-billion dollar market in the U.S. with ASBI providing educational programs and publications in response to industry needs.

Technical Director Bryan Smith says our membership in ASBI is “not solely to show our support for the bridge construction industry, but also to work in community with our customers. Joining ASBI is exciting for us because it offers an opportunity to be a part of a larger community with shared interests. It allow us to learn and become better at what we do best - serve our customers with a quality foot forward.”

Additionally, as of May 2012, two of our team members will have completed the ASBI Grouting Certification Program.
