The word "innovative" is frequently used to describe Ductal® bridge projects. The material's combination of superior properties facilitates the freedom to design new, innovative shapes that were not previously possible.

In terms of strength, durability and resistance, Ductal® is an exceptional material choice for use in aggressive environments (i.e., marine applications, cold climates, freeze/thaw, de-icing, extreme loading and abrasion).
For highway bridges, the absence of passive reinforcing steel provides significant flexibility for designing innovative, more refined shapes and eliminates the basic weakness with reinforced concrete decks that eventually leads to deck failure.
In North America, Europe, Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, innovative projects continue to prove that Ductal® is a robust, durable and cost-effective alternative for designing sustainable bridges with low maintenance requirements. To date, Ductal® has been used for beams, decks, piling beam deck systems and joint fill with precast decks.
