MEAKERB Bridge SAFETY LIGHT
In Detail
The MEAKERB BRIDGE SAFETY LIGHT is an innovative solution integrated directly into the drainage channel. Through 360° reflection, it significantly increases the visibility of bridge edges and thus traffic safety in all weather conditions. Thanks to the “cat’s eye” principle, the system uses only the headlights of vehicles, completely eliminating the need for an external power supply and maintenance.

Benefits
- Thanks to the higher hydraulic capacity compared to point drainage, the number of water outlets downwards can be reduced, enabling longer sections.
- Fewer penetrations due to drains increase the safety and durability of the construction, as the sealing and supporting structure are under less strain.
- No formwork required on the road surface side when the cap is poured or rebuilt.
- Existing drain openings can continue to be used for renovations.
- More effective drainage of porous asphalt (OPA) due to shorter water channels.
- Integrates curb and drainage into one system.
- No driving over drains, thus avoiding defective drains in the traffic area.
- No longitudinal slope necessary in the road surface or edge area.
- Wider sidewalks possible, since the cap is widened.
- Alternatively, wider lanes are possible because the drainage is integrated into the cap.
- The water is drained in the cap so that it does not remain on the road.
- Prevention of aquaplaning and ice formation on the road.
- The hollow channel makes the cap lighter, which results in a weight and construction cost savings.

06
Curve realization
- With a channel length of 500 mm and the integrated sealing lip, an optimal shaping of different curve radii can be realized
MEAKERB Bridge
For bridge constructions and renovations
The MEAKERB BRIDGE products are ideal for the construction and renovation of bridges.
MEA offers a perfectly coordinated complete range that optimally meets the requirements of planners. The polymer concrete used is characterized by its low weight and is therefore ideal for bridge construction. With the MEAKERB BRIDGE hollow board channel you combine bridge drainage, curb and formwork of the cap in a single product, which significantly speeds up installation. Thanks to the optimized channel cross-section, there is a high drainage performance
guaranteed. Our application technology also supports you with practical installation instructions and technical advice.
