The InQuik Group is all about the family. Logan Mullaney started working for his father Bruce at a young age, learning carpentry and other construction skills. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, at the age of 21 he founded his own business building homes. He spent some time in 2009 in China with his father building modular schools. After his father and uncle developed the InQuik Bridge System, a prefabricated formwork tray with reinforcing steel that is placed on site and filled with concrete to create a fully cast-in-place concrete bridge structure Instead, Logan and his brother Ben took the technology beyond Australia. to the rest of the world.
“InQuik was created collectively through our family’s hard work, passion for innovation and a like-minded solutions focus,” says Bruce Mullaney. “When we introduced the system to the construction industry, we received surprise, support and encouragement, confirming that we had provided a high-quality engineering alternative to existing construction systems. Logan has been enjoying the challenge of working to share InQuik’s vision around the world.”
The company has built more than 200 bridges since its debut nine years ago, says Logan Mullaney, the group’s chief executive. After working with design firm Arup to verify that the system meets the standards of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, InQuik is now working with individual states to meet their specific requirements. “From our first conversations in 2020 to today, Logan’s passion for InQuik’s potential to advance bridge-building and his comfortable professional attitude are directly responsible for InQuik’s growing success,” says John Eddy, director of Arup.
In 2019, the World Bank ranked the system #1 among modular bridge products. In 2024, Commercial Metals Company, a Fortune 500 construction solutions provider, formed a strategic partnership to bring the technology to the U.S. “CMC values our partnership with InQuik and the opportunity it provides to combine its innovative technology with the “CMC’s expertise in early-stage construction products and solutions to help rebuild America’s aging infrastructure and bridges,” says Mike Doucet, CMC’s senior vice president for emerging businesses.
John Emerson, director of construction for Gibson-Thomas Engineering, says InQuik’s entry into the U.S. market is “a real game changer in the bridge construction industry. Bringing an affordable, technologically advanced product was a something that this country has needed for a long time.”
Furthermore, he adds, “the attention to detail, along with the great customer relationships that are built, are a cut above any other bridging system we’ve seen. [Logan’s] The dedication to providing a product that not only meets the needs of small towns and municipalities, but also larger municipalities and states, has been an unsurpassed pleasure. His understanding and knowledge of bridge design has been an incredible benefit to the clients we serve.”
With three brothers and two sisters, “we work together as a family,” says Mullaney. Brother Hayden’s untimely death in 2018 brought the survivors even closer. Ryan focuses on technology-based modular homes, while Logan and Ben are expanding InQuik in the Asia-Pacific region and Europe.
One of the attractive aspects of the InQuik system is that “it’s ultimately a system between prefab and conventional,” says Mullaney. “It’s not a brand new material, just reinforced concrete in a slightly different way.”
