Drainage-Promoting Ballast Protection Layer
SLOPED BALLAST MAT
Bridge Preservation Sloped Ballast Mat™ is a spray applied layered protection course designed to provide slope for drainage, as well as seamless, integrated protection of the waterproofing system. Bridge Preservation Sloped Ballast Mat is designed to work in combination with Bridge Deck Membrane waterproofing, creating a seamless waterproof membrane and secondary ballast protection course for use in applications where slope towards drainage assemblies is required. Bridge Preservation Sloped Ballast Mat is a field applied ballast protection course that incorporates proprietary filler and physically and UV-stable resin to achieve a high build protective finish. Bridge Preservation Sloped Ballast Mat is a superior high strength, high build, elastomeric ballast protection course designed for both concrete and steel rail bridge structures.
