When Radcrete’s Managing Director last visited Sweden in 1996, fly ash concretes were well established and used exclusively in infra-structure.

In the harsh Swedish environment it soon became apparent, particularly noticeable in bridges not even coming close to anticipated design life!

Mr Byrne has been warning the construction industry of premature concrete deterioration caused by fly ash cement replacement for years, but so far only the Swedish authorities have listened and recently abolished use of blended concretes on infrastructure projects.

Thus, it is with great pleasure, to report of this railway bridge waterproofed with RADCON  Formula #7® in Linköping, Sweden.

Our Exclusive Representatives – WaterResisted Sweden, have treated the bridge deck of this new high-speed railway, designed for train speeds of up to 320 km/h.

More significantly, it is a part of the East Link Project, a major upgrade to the new generation railway network in Sweden, with projected construction of some 150 km of new high-speed railway, 200 bridges and 20 km of tunnels.
