Protection of the Oosterweel bridge decks (Bypass Noord)

Penetron contributes to the sustainable protection of concrete in one of the largest infrastructure projects in Belgium

As part of the Oosterweel connection — the infrastructure project that should transform mobility around Antwerp — the bridge decks of the Bypass North addressed. A total of 30 bridge decks realised, each with an area of approximately 450 m². During the site inspection, cracks were found on several bridge decks, which led to additional measures for sustainable protection.
