World first in Hardenberg

The bridge at Toeslagweg across Radewijkerbeek in Hardenberg is in need of major maintenance/replacement. The municipality of Hardenberg has decided to be the first client in the Netherlands (and the world) to reconstruct the existing bridge in the Toeslagweg using the innovative SUREbridge method. The municipality of Hardenberg is carrying out the reconstruction of the bridge in a construction team including the parties Van Heteren Weg- en Waterbouw (main contractor), engineering firm Nepocon, FiberCore Europe and Strukton Civiel Noord Oost.

Therefore, SUREbridge

The SUREbridge method offers the solution for fast, sustainable and cost-effective renovation of concrete bridges. The existing structure is strengthened and - if desired - widened by sliding a prefabricated composite panel onto it. This allows the bridge to last up to 50 years again, with minimal maintenance. By applying the method, the bridge is strengthened by a factor of 2 to 2.5, in a construction time of only 6 weeks. And because the structure does not have to be demolished, this results in savings in time, inconvenience and transport; a major environmental benefit. Costs are also saved; up to 50% compared to demolition and new construction. After applying the SUREbridge method, the bridge is once again completely future-proof!
