Caltrans chose to use FasTrac Hybrid Polymer Concrete to repair a spot on the Vincent Thomas Bridge, spanning the Los Angeles Harbor and linking San Pedro and Los Angeles with Terminal Island. The bridge carries a heavy traffic load, round the clock, so reducing down time was critical.
The fact that the repair could be traffic ready just 1.25 hours after the pour kept traffic disruption to a minimum.
Environmentally friendly, the zero VOC formula requires no explosive catalysts to activate the mix, unlike polyester based systems.
FasTrac Hybrid Polymer
FasTrac CE700 HPC is a three-component hybrid polymer concrete system containing engineered polymer resins and specially selected aggregates. When properly mixed, the reacted chemistry produces a durable polymer concrete composite designed for bridge deck overlays, patching, and resurfacing applications. Specifically designed to resurface and restore prepared concrete surfaces from ½” to 12” in one application lift. The system can be utilized for variable depth cross sections. Return to traffic within 3 hours.
