Orthotropic bridge deck



Structal-Bridges innovates with orthotropic bridge deck

Lightweight deck
  • Significantly lighter than concrete bridge deck
  • Ideal for increasing the capacity of existing bridges and raising payload limitations without having to replace or modify the main girders, piers or abutments

Quick installation
  • Saves site construction time as a result of using entirely shop-fabricated deck that includes a shop-applied wearing surface
  • Excellent solution if repairs are to be undertaken on heavy-traffic sections at night so that they can be open to traffic the next day
  • Comprehensive solution, including a safety barrier system

Shop-applied, high resistance, thin coat wearing surface
  • A wearing surface that demonstrates greater durability and a substantially higher friction coefficient than traditional asphalt-type surfaces used on roads and highways
  • Limited disruption of traffic following deck installation since field work is limited to a few finishing touches
  • In-plant quality control

Flexible concept
  • Designed primarily for use on multiple longitudinal girder bridges
  • Concept that can be easily adapted for bridges with only two main load-carrying members and that can even accommodate extensions to widen the deck
