Completion Date:          2015[/vc_column_text][dt_gap][vc_column_text]The Stirling Lloyd Eliminator waterproofing membrane system was chosen by kiwi Rail to waterproof and protect steel rail decks either side of rail bridges and steel and concrete rail bridges.

The Tauranga concrete bridge was waterproofed to prevent ingress of salt water corroding the steel reinforcing. Waterproofing the concrete bridge deck prevents the steel reinforcing from corroding that would lead to spalling of the concrete.

The Taupiri

The Taumaranui steel bridges (NIMT bridge 201, 203, 204, 208 & 209) are Cor-Ten 10 steel (self-passivating – exhibits resistance to atmospheric corrosion) and the internal steel bridge decks were waterproofed to prevent corrosion to the Cor-Ten 10 steel substrate. The steel trays contain ballast and fill with water that results in corrosion of the Cor-Ten steel substrate. Cor-Ten steel is not resistant to ponding water.

The road surfacing was removed, the concrete deck prepared and primed and two waterproofing layers of Stirling Lloyd Eliminator waterproofing membrane applied to the concrete bridge deck. A bond coat was applied over the Stirling Lloyd Eliminator waterproofing membrane and then the asphalt wear layer was the reapplied.
