Fast track your construction process and reduce the amount of material needed for your structure with this thixotropic technology — guaranteeing maximized life span and minimized maintenance over time.
This cast-in-place dense UHPC composition presents a cement-based matrix with a very low void ratio, making it impermeable to carbonation and alkali reactivity, and preventing the penetration of aggressive chemical agents into the applied layers (preventing rebar corrosion), even under heavy stress from road traffic and deicing chemicals.
Ductal® overlay provides a durable and impermeable layer against chlorides and can also structurally strengthen an existing bridge deck. It is an efficient rehabilitation method to extend the service life and to enhance the long-term durability performance in a cost-effective way.
Ductal® overlay offers an optimized solution that protects, strengthens and waterproofs at the same time while saving considerable time during construction.
01 - What it is
Ductal® Overlay includes both thixotropic and self-compacting consistencies that increase the range of applications (slopes up to 15% and horizontal surfaces applications) while providing speed of construction.
Thanks to its unique combination of ultra high mechanical properties and bending behavior, Ductal® overlay can be used in very thin layers to increase the structure’s bearing capacity, thus reducing the added dead load and extra weights, resulting in reduced material and labour needs.
02 - Implementation
Add a highly protective, durable, low maintenance layer to new and existing concrete surfaces with Ductal® Overlay, adding protection, strength, durability, waterproofing and resistance to chemicals to any project.
The solution’s implementation can be performed easily with reduced minimal down time, which diminishes risks related to planning and execution deadlines.
