Bridges

Fabreeka® Bedding pads have been successfully used for many years under steel bridge shoe masonry plates for more uniform load distribution on highway and railroad bridges.

Fabreeka® Bridge Rail pads have made the installation of railings simpler and more efficient. Our high quality SA-47 pad is supplied to the size and shape of the rail support contact area. The pad evenly distributes the loading and hold-down forces from the bolts by conforming to the irregularities of the concrete surface. High compressive strength and limited creep characteristics distinguish this material from typical unreinforced neoprene pads. The durability of the Fabreeka® Bridge Rail pads makes them an excellent alternative to epoxy and grout installation methods.

Fabreeka's® Drain Trough system is a flexible water drainage system for use on roadway bridges and overpasses. Designed for installation under the expansion joint fingers, these flexible troughs channel water into rigid down spouts and avoid water dripping on vehicles passing under the bridge.

Fabreeka® Lamp Post pads are an excellent and economical way to dampen shock and vibration induced by wind and traffic. A flat pad is constructed from our material to the exact size, shape and bolt hole pattern of the lamp post base. Additionally Fabreeka® washers and bushings are utilized to completely isolate the lamp post from transmitted vibration. The pads also help to evenly distribute loadings and adapt to any irregularities in the concrete mounting surfaces.

Our SBX expansion bearings provide a durable sliding surface with a low coefficient of friction to allow for thermal expansion and contraction in bridges, which include a bearing pad to help compensate for rotation. The structural expansion bearings can be used in steel and concrete bridges.
