Commercial Metals Company (CMC), a construction solutions provider, has entered into a strategic partnership with InQuik, to bring the InQuik bridge solution to the US.
This agreement aims to make durable bridges more accessible and cost-effective for communities across the country.
InQuik Group in Australia is licensing its intellectual property to CMC to produce and sell the bridge system in the US.
CMC’s manufacturing network is situated in the US and Central Europe.
It provides products and technologies tailored to fulfil the reinforcement requirements of the worldwide construction industry.
CMC's offerings facilitate construction in diverse applications, spanning the infrastructure, residential, non-residential, industrial, and energy generation and transmission sectors.
The partnership aims to harness the strengths of both companies to foster growth and innovation.
InQuik president Logan Mullaney said: “The partnership will enable InQuik to leverage CMC's extensive reach and manufacturing capacity, enhancing its ability to rapidly scale the delivery of these innovative solutions.
“With CMC's infrastructure expertise and InQuik's cutting-edge technology, the partnership is a win-win.”
Meanwhile, InQuik's modular component system is designed to expedite concrete bridge construction.
The easily transportable system is said to ensure a bridge life of 100 years, reduce on-site labour, and cut transportation costs, addressing current construction industry challenges.
It facilitates the swift and cost-effective delivery of concrete bridge projects while adhering to rigorous standards.
CMC Emerging Businesses Group senior vice-president Michael Doucet said: “InQuik products are highly engineered, value-added systems which expand the portfolio of solutions that CMC provides to the construction industry.
“The CMC-InQuik partnership will enable bridge owners to maximise use of their funds by building bridges more quickly, cost-effectively and efficiently.”
