Bridge Deck Waterproofing with Bakor 790-11 on Highway 1
Protecting Bridge Decks with Advanced Waterproofing Systems
Project Overview
Location: Highway 1, Yale, BC
Solution: Bakor 790-11 Liquid Asphalt Rubber Waterproofing System
Many bridges across British Columbia use an asphalt wear course for traffic, with a waterproofing membrane underneath to shield the concrete slab from moisture and salt damage. For this project on Highway 1 near Yale, Roaron Construction applied the Bakor 790-11 hot rubber waterproofing system to ensure long-term protection for the bridge deck.
Why Use Bakor 790-11 for Bridge Deck Waterproofing?
Bakor 790-11 is a hot-applied liquid asphalt rubber membrane that provides exceptional waterproofing for concrete surfaces. Key benefits include:
Protection from salt and moisture intrusion
Flexible membrane that withstands thermal expansion and contraction
Seamless coverage with superior adhesion to concrete
Application Process:
Shot Blasting: The bridge deck was shot blasted to create a clean, textured surface for membrane adhesion.
Priming and Flash Detailing: The deck was primed, and critical areas were detailed for thorough waterproofing.
Membrane Application: Bakor 790-11 was applied to create a durable, seamless barrier.
Protection and Paving: Eurovia completed the final layer with asphalt paving to lock everything together, ensuring a smooth, traffic-ready surface.
This comprehensive waterproofing system ensures the bridge deck will remain protected from salt, moisture, and environmental wear for years to come.
