Bridge structures provide a critical link between our communities and serve an important role in the global economy. It has been well documented that a significant portion of our bridges are in need of rehabilitation and replacement. All aspects of the bridges from the sub-structure to the deck to the super structure can be restored to near its original condition and strengthened to carry the additional loads of today's larger vehicles.

Repair methods used on bridges include:

	Conventional concrete repair
	Specialized concrete repair
	Epoxy injection crack repairs
	Rock anchors to stabilize the structure
	Concrete overlays and Special thin overlays
	Protective sealers
	Protective polymer overlay systems
	Deck Waterproofing
	Sprayable mortars
	Foundation and crack grouting

Deicing salts are used extensively to keep our bridges safe in the winter, but penetrate the concrete and corrode the reinforcing steel. To extend the life of the structure the corrosion can be addressed and mitigated using a variety of corrosion mitigation strategies from localized galvanic protection to electrochemical chloride extraction to full cathodic protection systems.
