Steel Deck Bridges

Due to the relatively low thickness of the steel deck (12 to 14 mm), it is essential to consider well adapted Asphalt mixes designed to sustain flexural and tensile stress coming from both the traffic and the steel plate movements underneath.

Bituminous Primer

Bituminous Primer

Following sandblasting of the steel deck, the application of a solvent based bituminous primer will help to waterproof the steel plate and provide an excellent bonding with the bituminous membrane that will be applied on top of it. 

Products In Bituminous Membrane

Elastomeric Bituminous Membrane

Elastomeric Bituminous Membrane

The use of a prefabricated elastomeric bituminous membrane will allow significant reduction in the stress coming from the plate while providing excellent bonding with the bituminous primer underneath and the Asphalt surface course.

Colflex® PMB

Colflex® PMB

High performance and Low Carbon Footprint Polymer Modified Binder Due to Vietnam’s extreme climate conditions (high temperature, UV exposure, and heavy rains), the use of polymer-modified bitumen (PMB) has become a popular choice among pavement engineers. PMB significantly improves the rutting resistance, shear stress, and cracking resistance of asphalt mixes. Also, Colflex® PMB allows a significant reduction in surface layer thickness (e.g.: Novachip, very thin overlay) with long-lasting skid resistance.   Colflex® PMB complies with National Standard 22TCN 319-04
