Bedford Borough Council Bridge Deck Waterproofing

The A6 Paula Radcliffe Way, a critical artery for vehicular traffic, was in need of waterproofing and expansion joint installation to maintain its structural integrity and serviceability. Vision Specialist Contracting was faced with the task of executing these crucial aspects of road maintenance. The challenge was not only to provide a lasting waterproofing solution but also to integrate durable expansion joints that could handle the roadway’s significant traffic demands. Ensuring a seamless application that would stand the test of time was paramount to prevent future roadway deterioration and costly repairs.

The Action

In partnership with Heidelberg materials (Hanson’s), Vision Specialist Contracting was entrusted with the Waterproofing and Expansion Joint Package on the A6 Paula Radcliffe Way. As authorised and trained installers, Vision chose to implement GCP’s Eliminator Bridge Deck Waterproofing system, renowned for its ESSELAC Technology, and the GCP Sentinel EMR Bridge Expansion Joints. The Eliminator system, utilising ESSELAC Technology, offered a rapid-cure, high-performance waterproofing solution that could be quickly applied and put into service. This innovative technology provided a waterproof membrane that was not only durable but also flexible, accommodating the movement and stress a busy highway endures.

The Sentinel EMR Expansion Joints were selected for their proven durability and compatibility with the waterproofing system, ensuring that both components would work together to extend the roadway’s lifespan. The team coordinated meticulously to streamline the installation process, ensuring a swift return to full
service. The synergy between advanced material technology and Vision’s installation expertise was critical to the project’s success.

The Solution

The application of GCP’s Eliminator Bridge Deck Waterproofing and Sentinel EMR Expansion Joints on the A6 Paula Radcliffe Way was completed with precision and efficiency, meeting the project’s high standards. The waterproofing application was executed seamlessly, providing a robust defence against moisture ingress and the associated damage it can cause. The Sentinel EMR Expansion Joints were installed to accommodate the roadway’s movement and provide a lasting solution to joint wear and tear.
