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.
