How can ageing concrete bridges be strengthened sustainably without full replacement?
Answers from the sources
Strukton
“Ageing bridges can be reinforced using composite strengthening systems such as SUREbridge, which places a lightweight FRP composite panel onto the existing concrete deck. This method increases load‑bearing capacity, extends service life by up to 50 years, shortens construction time and avoids demolition, lowering CO₂ emissions by around 50%.”
