When assessing the construction of one of the worlds longest bridges, no one would question that every material used would be of the best quality money could provide.
Considering the requirements for durability, strength and resistance towards wear and tear, there's no place for anything other than the best.
Following the 30 year service survey of The Great Belt Bridge in Denmark, the Danish - engineering company -concluded that the 30.000m² of Dencryl^™ Bridge system installed was in the same condition as it was when first installed in 1995. COWI Project Manager Jorn Blumensen, who has much experience with Dencryl^™ systems from previous projects around he world was not surprised: "I have used the DENCRYL^™ BRIDGE systems in 5-6 -different projects with same result. The MMA based products are very suitable in this type of environment. The performance of the material is not affected by cold or heat, and the UV breakdown is very slow, so the life time expectancy is over 40 years. The service costs to maintain the functionallity is very low, as a matter of fact we have not spend anything on the Great Belt Bridge so far".
The Dencryl^™ Bridge systems ranges from a 2 mm smooth -flexible protective coating for -concrete and metal, up to a 10 mm antislip system mixed with hard aggregates to perform as a very durable surface for the traffic.

About the Great Belt Bridge
Two bridges and a tunnel forms the 18 km long connection across the Great Belt in Denmark. The work was carried out between 1988-1998. The total cost of the project was EURO 3.0 billion (1988 prices). The project was handled by COWI Engineering, one of the worlds leading experts in bridge construction.
The project still is one of the largest engineering projects executed in Denmark and the suppliers for this prestigious project had to fulfil the most demanding specifications.
