Concrete Bridge Repair & Maintenance
Solutions for Bridge Repair and Maintenance
When subjected to the elements, even the most well designed concrete bridges need repair and protection in order to ensure that their intended design life can be achieved. Factors such as carbonation, free/thaw cycling and chloride attack can all lead to significant deterioration of precast and in-situ concrete, quickly leading to the corrosion of the steel reinforcement. In such instances, Flexcrete provides a one-stop refurbishment solution with a full range of engineering quality mortars and high performance cementitious and anti-carbonation coatings. Our products are CE marked in accordance with BS EN 1504 and meet the high performance standards required by Highways Agency Specification Clause 1770.
