Fortaleza, Brazil

Description

1920s, primarily due to political and budgetary constraints, and was finally completed 50 years thereafter. In 2018, following 24 years of usage, the bridge was closed by municipal authorities due to its severe deterioration. Later that same year, an exceptionally strong spring tide resulted in the near-total destruction of the wooden boardwalk, which had been a popular tourist attraction.


Products Used

PENETRON, a surface-applied, crystalline waterproofing material, was used to waterproof the existing concrete bridge structures. PENETRON ADMIX, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, was incorporated into the concrete mix for the new precast slabs and bridge railing.
