The annual meeting of the Mississippi Engineering Society was held on February 27th and 28th at the Jackson Convention Center in Jackson, MS. Always a great show with many MDOT attendees present, PCI Gulf South gave a presentation on the use, types and a few local projects for the NEXT beam. This type of bridge technology is gaining steam in the Gulf South region and many attendees were interested in use of the NEXT beam and how local officials are utilizing it in their projects.
