Description of system
Rail bridge decks suffer deterioration from the corrosive effects of both natural and man-made agents. Freeze/thaw cycles, repeated day after day, year after year, also deteriorate the structures. Granite ballast adds a particular challenge for rail bridge decks because of the punishing effects of its angularity. The tremendous pounding of high point loads adds to the challenge. Bridge Preservation spray-applied elastomeric waterproofing membranes, specifically formulated and highly durable, will provide years of waterproofing protection for rail bridge decks.
