Safe Grip Avoids A Slip and a dip
With more than 1,200 in Amsterdam alone, wooden bridge decks are found in great number in Holland, spanning rivers, dams, streams and dykes. Taking foot and car traffic from one side to the other, they are often wet throughout the year, from rain or from the river.
Wet timber can be very slippery, and just like in the UK, trigger happy no-win-no-fee solicitors are itching to bring a lawsuit on behalf of an injured bridge-user.
Enter RonaDeck Resin Bonded Aggregate. Applied to dry or damp timber and blinded with calcined bauxite aggregate, it offers a speedy solution to slippery decks.
Ready to take traffic again after just 2-3 hours, the resin is rollered onto the cleaned surface, covered with the aggregate, allowed to cure and then loose aggregate swept off. The newly treated and now slip-resistant finish is ready for immediate traffic.
Many thousands of square metres of bridge deck are treated in Holland and many other countries where speed, slip resistance and durability are key requirements.
