Challenge

Description

The existing roadway was in need of rehabilitation, and Ductal® Overlay was selected due to the durability and service life improvements of using the superior technology. Challenge was to remove the deteriorated concrete using Hydro-demolition, to provide a sound surface for the Overlay solution to bond to. Batched on site the solution provided a well consolidated finish that suited the required slopes over the entire structure

Chillon Viaducts

Description

The Chillon Viaducts have been reinforced by an Overlay of Ductal® UHPC. Thanks to its mechanical characteristics and its durability properties, Ductal® was the only material able to provide an efficient retrofitting preserving the bearing capacity of the bridge, a lower maintenance cost and a quick retro commissioning of an important axis of the Swiss highway network. The two Chillon Viaducts are among the most spectacular infrastructure works of the Swiss highway network. Ductal® was prescribed for the reinforcement of the two decks (2.2 km long by 12 m wide each). The implementation of thin layer of Ductal® (4 cm thick) with rebars, allowed the strengthening of the bridge decks for shear loads, bending, and fatigue while ensuring the waterproofing of the surface.
