Protection – Prevention – Enhancement
Freyssicare accessories are designed to enhance and extend the life of bridge components, such as bearings and expansion joints. The Freyssicare collection offers effective protection to such components by shielding or diverting rainwater and airborne contaminants, the main cause of corrosion.
THE BODYGARDE TM
The BodygardeTM is designed to accommodate movement of the bearing without compromising its effectiveness. The intelligent cover protects the bearing from water, dust and salt, while its hi-tech breathable material allows airflow, so the bearing is kept clean and dry but still accessible for inspections.
Installation is straightforward and the attachment mechanisms are secure and weather resistant. They are easy to remove when required for bearing inspections or replacement. The clever design also allows for the inclusion of internal or external pockets to hold temperature and humidity monitoring equipment so the conditions effecting the bearing can be analysed.
AIM
