Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:
Curve Works' black GFRP cladding is still looking brand new 4 years after installation!
This bridge is a fantastic example of sustainability. Not much material has been used; it is lightweight (installed in 1 piece, lifted from a truck!) and the composite structure lasts more than 100 years without maintenance (no corrosion and no rot)!
The 120 sqm sandwich cladding, for which recycled PET-core was used weighs only 1000 kg.
