Railroad bridge deck

Railroad bridge decks are susceptible to corrosion from both natural and man-made agents, as well as intense high-point loads. Our spray-applied, durable elastomeric waterproofing membranes provide lasting protection. At the core is PPG's Bridge Deck Membrane technology. This advanced polyurea technology protects steel and concrete bridges and elevated decks from water, salts, chemicals and other corrosive elements.
