The NEXT Beam was developed by the PCI Northeast Bridge Technical Committee made up of state bridge engineers, consultants and precast manufactures from all six New England states and New York. 

The NEXT Beam is designed to be labor-efficient in both the manufacturing plant and on the job site. During fabrication, the absence of draped (harped) strands is a significant advantage. The elimination of deck forming in the field saves significant time during construction while also providing an instant work platform, resulting in a much safer project. NEXT beam bridges are a cost-effective structure which has reduced the overall cost of bridge construction in the Northeast.
