Delpatch™ Elastomeric Concrete
)
In 1983, The D.S. Brown Company introduced Delcrete™ Elastomeric
Concrete on I-10 in Louisiana as
a bridge expansion joint
assembly structural
anchoring
and nosing material. The
rigid,
yet
flexible
connection Delcrete™ provided between steel and concrete soon made it the premier solution
for bridge and highway
spall repair. Yet the
need still existed for a permanent
repair solution
for high performance pavements which would offer minimal downtime and, at the same time, limit
exposure of work
crews
to traffic. D.S.
Brown engineers
accepted
the challenge and
formulated Delpatch™ Elastomeric Concrete from the original Delcrete™ product. Delpatch™ Elastomeric Concrete, a new generation of
elastomeric concrete,
has two
main uses. First, it is
an excellent
patching material for
cracks
and spalls on airport
runways and
highways. Second, Delpatch™ Elastomeric Concrete provides an easy to use solution in
retrofitting
airport runways
with
lighting.
