PRECAST BRIDGE BEAMS
Pretensioned & Delivered Across South Africa
Precision-engineered bridge beams trusted by SANRAL, municipalities, and contractors nationwide.
From highway overpasses to temporary diversions, Bedrock designs, manufactures, delivers, and rigs pre-stressed bridge beams across South Africa. Whether it’s a live-site lift or a remote span, our teams deliver accurate, high-tolerance components with proven logistics and safety systems in place.
Bedrock Group has recently delivered high-volume precast bridge beams for two landmark SANRAL infrastructure projects, reinforcing our role as a trusted structural partner in national road and rail upgrades.
At the heart of this operation is our dedicated casting yard in Prime Industrial Estate, Cato Ridge—a purpose-built inland hub that allows for efficient manufacturing, staging, and transport of massive beams to sites across South Africa.
This site has become a key logistical node, with operations drawing attention across LinkedIn and the infrastructure community for its scale, speed, and coordinated rigging.

Project Spotlight: Paradise Valley Interchange – Durban (2024)
Project Duration: 6 Weeks | No of Beams: 12 | Beam Length: 33m | Weight: 45 tons
As part of the N3 realignment infrastructure upgrade, Bedrock has supplied and installed precast bridge beams for major viaduct and overpass structures across KwaZulu-Natal. Bedrock supplied and delivered twelve 33m pretensioned U-beams for the Paradise Valley Interchange as part of the N3 upgrade. Each beam weighed 45 tons and was delivered under SANRAL oversight in just 6 weeks.
Pretensioned Concrete Beams Built to SANS Standards
A recent LiDAR scan of the site confirmed that Bedrock’s precast bridge beams were delivered and installed precisely within specification. The point cloud data showed clean alignment, consistent camber, and accurate placement—reinforcing the reliability of both our casting and rigging processes.
