The article describes important issues of prefabrication process of monorail guideway beam, i.e. achieving expected geometry parameters and surface roughness. In the main part, the author characterizes construction method of the most common guideway type focusing on problems connected with transport and assembly of precast beams. Transportation vehicle and tools used for installation of curved beams are described. Afterwards, the author describes problems connected with integration of guideway frame and complex force combination at frame joints. The author finished the description with a short conclusion.
