Bridge Deck Waterproofing & Anti Skid Applications

Bridge Deck Surfacing Solutions

Bridges are vital infrastructure and need to be monitored and maintained to ensure the integrity and safety of the structure. JMS understand that no bridge project is the same – there are varying factors when specifying the appropriate bridge deck treatment applications. What is the traffic load? Is the bridge over a railway? Are you expecting to see an increase in footfall? We will work with you to understand your needs and place great emphasis on choosing a system that protects your structure from water and chemical damage as well as general wear and tear and other forms of impact.

When the maintenance of bridge decks is neglected, and the protective surface layer begins to deteriorate, it permits the ingress of water, instigating corrosion within the bridge, encompassing its structural steelwork and substrate. Such damage jeopardises the integrity and overall safety of the bridge, underlining the urgency for comprehensive upkeep.

Furthermore, as traffic continually traverses the bridge, the surface gradually loses its friction, thus heightening the risk of skidding or slipping accidents. This risk underscores the importance of diligent maintenance. The optimal solution is a proactive approach to the upkeep of the bridge deck, ensuring that waterproofing measures are consistently applied, and the surface retains its anti-skid properties for enhanced safety.

Through effective surface protection coatings, we’re able to improve the texture of your bridge deck to enhance friction and make it safer for all users. Our coatings and treatments are durable, robust and will cause minimal disruption on any site. Our expert team will work with you to deliver a combined waterproofing and antiskid system that will protect the frame and integrity of your bridge for years to come.
