Original proposal
Proposal details
The recent updates contains in the memo to the Premium Reinforcement policy, specifically in Table 12.2.1 of MTO’s Structural Manual, reflect a comprehensive review by the MTO of the associated costs and benefits. These adjustments are indicative of a data-driven approach to infrastructure, considering not only the immediate financial implications but also the long-term sustainability and safety of bridge structures. The revisions suggest a shift towards increased use of PREMIUM REINFORCEMENT including glass fibre Reinforcing Bar (GFRP). This proactive stance is essential in ensuring that bridges can meet the demands of both current and future traffic, as well as environmental stressors, thereby safeguarding public investment and safety.
