Bridges & Dams

Coquihalla Highway Bridges
British Columbia, Canada

BACKGROUND
In 1985 and 1986, thirteen bridges on the newly constructed Coquihalla Highway required waterproofing treatment for the existing concrete infrastructure to protect the reinforcing steel from corrosion. Most of the bridges were constructed and treated during adverse winter weather conditions.

SOLUTION
The Krystol™ T1 and T2 waterproofing system was the only system compatible for wet weather application. The treatement was applied to both the vertical and horizontal concrete surfaces. The system continues to perform as specified.
