krafton® 256.40 FRP bridge decking plank

Appearances count! A span using 256.40 FRP bridge decking planks has the appearance of a wooden bridge with plank decking, since both sides of the plank are straight. During assembly, a joint between the FRP bridge decking elements is automatically created. This makes the plank one of a kind. The krafton® 256.40 FRP bridge decking planks are separated by a 10mm joint, allowing for easy drainage of rainwater and quicker drying of the FRP bridge deck.
In other words, installation of an expansion joint is not necessary.
