Bridgemaster®
COMBINED WATERPROOFING & SURFACING

DESCRIPTION  High mechanical strength

Bridgemaster is a fast curing, waterproof, skid resistant wearing
course for the protection of bridge decks, where light weight allied
to durability is required. Based on Stirling Lloyd’s advanced resin
technology and extensive experience in the development of
infrastructure waterproofing and trafficked surfaces, Bridgemaster
comprises an impermeable, flexible resin screed with an aggregate
overscatter and durable sealer coat.
USES
Bridgemaster can be used to surface and protect a wide variety of
structures operating under a range of climatic environments and
traffic conditions, from light duty pedestrian structures to major
bridges and viaducts subject to heavy vehicular traffic. It is suitable
for application to concrete, steel and aluminium substrates.
Bridgemaster is available in two standard grades:
PD Grade – For pedestrian areas. A 4mm screed plus aggregate
and sealer.
HD Grade – For vehicular trafficked areas. A 6mm screed plus
aggregate and sealer.
Bridgemaster is designed for use on gradients up to 1:12. For
gradients greater than this please contact us.
Typical applications include:
 Road Bridges  Loading Bays
 Bascule bridges  Footbridges
 Swing bridges  Walkways
 Roll-on/off ramps  Steps
 Marine structures  Stadium Spectator areas
 Can be tailored to individual project requirements
 Trafficable within one hour
 Quality assured - applied only by Stirling Lloyd authorised and
trained contractors
SURFACE PREPARATION
All substrates must be clean, dry and structurally sound. They must
be free from laitance, oils and other surface contaminants.
Concrete
New concrete decks should be a minimum of fourteen days old. If
additives, cement replacement or curing agents have been used
please contact us.
All concrete decks must be prepared by suitable mechanical means
such as vacuum blasting to provide a sound surface.
Rapid repairs to damaged concrete can be made using Metaset®
rapid repair products.
Where the use of a non-structural screed or a lightweight concrete
substrate is proposed, please seek advice from us first.
Steel
All surfaces must be free from rust, dirt, scale and other
contaminants. The surface finish shall comply with Swedish
Standard SIS 05 59 00 (1967) Sa 2.5.
APPLICATION
Primer
Concrete substrates must be primed using PAB1 Primer.
Steel substrates must be primed with ZED S94 Primer.
Please refer to the relevant datasheet for further information.
Bridgemaster
The standard application temperature range for Bridgemaster is 0°C
(32°F) to 35°C (86°F). For temperatures outside this range please
contact Stirling Lloyd.
Bridgemaster is a three-part screed, supplied in pre-weighed
quantities ready for on-site mixing. Application is by pouring and
spreading using a toothed rake or trowel, followed by a spiked
roller.
Once rollered the screed is blinded with dry aggregate.
Once the screed has cured the excess aggregate should be
removed.
A coat of SL Sealer Matt Clear is then applied to enhance
aggregate retention and help maintain a clean surface. The system
can be trafficked once the SL Sealer Matt Clear has fully cured.
