BECT provides bridge and structure design, construction engineering, temporary works, specialised erection equipment and structural fabrication solutions for projects worldwide. Supporting owners, consultants, contractors, and fabricators.
Permanent-works design, construction engineering, purpose-designed erection equipment and structural fabrication. These are coordinated so that critical interfaces are resolved before they reach site.
Conceptual, preliminary, tender and detailed design for prestressed concrete, composite and steel for bridges and structures, with alternative design solutions, value engineering and independent design verification.
Segmental · cable-stayed · extradosed · integral · arch · movable
Construction-stage analysis, erection method planning, geometry and precamber control, incremental launching design, stability systems, heavy lifting and cofferdam engineering.
15 defined engineering capabilities
Conceptual and detailed design, fabrication and supply of self-launching bridge construction equipment in both overhead and underslung configurations.
FT/BB · MSS · LG · BL · SL
Engineered heavy steelwork delivered through an established fabrication partner, with trial assembly and quality-controlled production support.
Trial assembly and quality-controlled production
BECT was established in 2017 and draws on more than 40 years of senior international bridge and structural engineering experience.
Registered in Malaysia as an International Business Company (IBC/Offshore).
Permanent-works design, construction-stage analysis, temporary works and erection equipment handled together rather than in isolation.
Bridges, high-rise and complex steel structures, tunnels and large-scale venues.
The work divides into six kinds of application. Each combines permanent-works design, construction-stage engineering and the equipment that carries out the method.
Segments cast in place from each pier in balanced pairs, using form travellers that carry their formwork below or above the deck and launch themselves forward.
Overhead and underslung configurations for different segment lengths and weights
Whole spans of concrete superstructure formed and cast between the permanent piers, without falsework from the ground, on continuous and simply supported bridges.
Spans 20–70 m
Precast segments and beams lifted and placed span by span or by balanced cantilever, by self-launching gantries, launchers and lifters working off the completed deck.
Launching gantries for span erection and curved alignments, with segment lifters for units from 100–900 t
Construction-stage analysis, geometry and precamber control, stability systems, falsework and formwork design, incremental launching and heavy lifting engineering.
15 defined engineering capabilities
Conceptual and detailed design, fabrication and supply of self-launching equipment in overhead and underslung configurations, plus modification and design review of equipment already in service.
Six equipment types · five service lines
Engineered heavy steelwork for bridges and complex steel structures, with BECT providing the engineering, specification and coordination and fabrication carried out through an established partner.
Bridge girders · complex steel structures
Self-launching equipment designed, fabricated and supplied in overhead and underslung configurations.
Cast-in-situ balanced-cantilever construction. Underslung suits longer segments and unobstructed clearance above the formwork; overhead suits shorter hammerhead pier segments.
Span-by-span construction of cast-in-place concrete superstructures for continuous and simply supported bridges, without intermediate supports.
Precast segmental bridge construction, supporting both balanced-cantilever and span-by-span methods. Fully self-launching, with an integrated gantry crane.
Simply supported bridges, assembling prefabricated steel and concrete beams without crane assistance. Suited to high piers, difficult ground access and water crossings.
Segmental viaduct erection by balanced cantilever, handling steel or concrete segments with electric winch or hydraulic lifting systems.
Equipment modification and redesign, heavy lifting and swing systems, custom construction equipment, design review and structural checks, and straddle carriers.
