Bridges

There are nearly 615,000 bridges in the United States, and 9.1 percent require significant maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement. 1 Innovative technologies like geotextiles are helping engineers build bridges better and faster and at a lower cost than traditional methods. Using geotextiles can add durability, increased resiliency, and extend performance life of a bridge. Geotextiles can be used to waterproof bridge decks, repair cracked pavements, and delay reflective cracking of overlays.
