Technical challenges in components for

Infrastructure & Public Works

Elastomer components for infrastructure and public works operate outdoors for decades — exposed to water, UV, ozone and thermal cycling, under high loads and permanent movement and expansion. They demand long-lasting watertightness and proven durability. Our solutions are developed to withstand these conditions, part by part.

Common challenges
Watertightness

Reliable sealing of joints and penetrations against pressurised water and infiltration, maintained over decades.

Movement and expansion

Joints and bearings that accommodate expansion, contraction and structural movement without loss of sealing.

High loads

Load-bearing capacity and elastic recovery in bearings and structural elements.

Outdoor durability

Resistance to UV, ozone, water and thermal cycling throughout the service life of the structure.

Adhesion to concrete and metal

Reliable anchoring and adhesion to concrete and metal structures.

Abrasion and impact

Resistance to abrasion, sediment and impact.

Engineering solutions for the most demanding challenges

We co-develop components tailored to the operational, regulatory, and performance requirements of this sector. We work on a made-to-order basis, starting from each client's specific challenge.

Every project begins with a detailed needs analysis conducted by our technical team. From there, we develop the solution concept and move on to prototyping, validation, and manufacturing.
