Aluminium bridge decking technologies

We offer two aluminium bridge decking technologies:

Aluminium isotropic deck technology
Aluminium orthotropic deck technology

Both have been successfully tried and tested on bridge deck projects for decades. Evaluations funded by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration show that aluminium decking is viable for many bridge applications.

Aluminium in bridges

Complete more projects, at lower cost and in less time – and also minimize traffic disruptions during rehabilitation and repairs.

Aluminium bridge

Aluminium bridge technologies are strong alternatives to traditional steel and concrete constructions because:

Aluminium facilitates rehabilitation versus replacement
The metal can be easily and profitably recycled
Lower maintenance costs lead to lower lifecycle costs
Decreased dead load allows old bridges to be widened on existing substructure
Time is saved with pre-assembly options for bridge decks or bridge replacement
