Bethanga Bridge, Victoria
The Xypex system of coating repairs was specified and applied to the concrete abutments on the Bethanga Bridge which is located on the Victorian and New South Wales border.
Both abutments were treated with the Xypex coating system which incorporates the unique Xypex crystalline technology, to achieve long term durability. The treatment was specified to address concrete deterioration caused in part by fluctuating water levels and the impact of wave erosion.
Cracks less than 0.4mm and surrounding substrates were treated with Xypex Concentrate and Xypex Modified and cured with Xypex Gamma Cure.
Xypex has the unique ability to self-heal hairline cracks up to 0.4mm.
