Top12 prevents corrosion of the reinforcement of the highly exposed bridge caps

Advantage: No corrosion-related repairs during the planned service life, no congestion due to construction sites, minimization of life cycle costs

Recommended product: Top12
 

Top12 prevents corrosion of the reinforcement of the bridge central pillars which are bypassed on both sides. Due to low reinforcement levels, conventional B500B is completely replaced in the pillar.

Advantage: No corrosion-related repairs during the planned service life, no congestion due to construction sites, minimization of life cycle costs

Retaining walls close to traffic are exposed to spray mist loads and possibly also to splash water loads. The outer reinforcement layer of the chloride-facing surface can be selectively executed with Top12.  Likewise, in accordance with the normative requirements from Switzerland, the non-inspectable tensile reinforcement for protection against load-bearing capacity risks can also be selectively executed in Top12.

Advantage: No maintenance over the lifetime of the surface and minimization of the risk of a loss of load-bearing capacity in case of non-inspectable tensile reinforcement

Abutments located close to traffic are exposed to spray mist loads and possibly also to splash water loads. The outer reinforcement layer of the chloride-facing surface can be selectively designed with Top12. 

Advantage: No repair over the lifetime of the surface

Higher demands on the corrosion resistance of the connection reinforcement (see RIZ-ING) can be covered by Top12. The corrosion resistance of Top12 including the joint sealing (Type I/II), which is necessary anyway, can be assessed as sufficient.

Advantage: Expensive higher alloyed steels can be replaced by Top12
