U.S. concrete reinforcing steel market leader CMC is licensing short span bridge technology from Australia-based InQuik Inc., whose easily transported, modular component system is engineered to reduce on-site labor requirements and yield 100-year service life crossings. The partnership will leverage CMC’s extensive reach, manufacturing capacity, infrastructure expertise and ability to rapidly deploy innovative bridge solutions at scale, notes InQuik President Logan Mullaney.

**Self-supporting InQuik components yield premium concrete bridges faster and more economically when measured against traditional cast-in-place methods.**

“InQuik products are highly engineered, value-added systems which expand the portfolio of solutions we provide to the construction industry,” says CMC Emerging Business Group Senior Vice President Michael Doucet. “The CMC-InQuik partnership will enable bridge owners to maximize use of their funds by building bridges more quickly, cost effectively and efficiently.”

D.A. Davidson & Co., Denver, served as exclusive financial advisor to InQuik on its strategic partnership with CMC. Founded in Australia, InQuik has established a North American presence through operations in Colorado.
