A new life for an emblematic structure: The Kanderviadukt was stabilised using a protective coat of Ductal®.

In partnership with Iowa State University and Iowa State DOT, with participation from Wapello and Buchana counties in Iowa, this project was the first to implement overlay application of UHPC using automated paver system brought by Walo from Europe.

State Route 141 over I95 interchange rehabilitation was commenced in 2019 and expected to be fully completed by Spring 2022. Several crossing structures within this interchange utilized precast panels and required UHPC for all the connections.

Deformation of the concrete rolling surface, structural deficit in terms of puncture resistance, sloping terrain (5% gradient) ... the equation to be solved for the repair of the covered car park at the Saas-Fee ski resort was arduous. Ductal® took up the challenge and developed an innovative product meeting all these constraints.

The Gardner River Bridge, with its impressive dimensions and historical significance, posed unique challenges for rehabilitation. To address these challenges, our Ductal Holcim US Engineered Solutions Team developed cutting-edge UHPC Technologies, leveraging materials made in the USA. This commitment to innovation and excellence allowed us to optimize our approach, ensuring durability and sustainability in bridge preservation and repair.
