CLEARSHIELD® BRIDGE
CLEARSHIELD® BRIDGE
Protecting People and Property. ClearShield® is a cutting-edge, transparent under-bridge protection system designed to enhance safety beneath poor condition bridges while maintaining visibility to the underside of the deck.
This allows for easy inspection, helping engineers quickly identify potential areas that may require restoration.
ClearCast forms are the preferred forming method for bridge owners and contractors, balancing speed of construction, safety, and long-term preservation.
ClearShield® offers bridge inspectors, maintenance staff, and contractors a safe environment to work in while assessing the condition of the deck or making repairs.

SUSTAINABILITY
- Steel and plastic can be recycled when panels are removed from service.
- Re-use ClearShield® panels below other aging bridge decks with similar girder spacing After deck is replaced or repaired.
SAFETY
-Easily detect fallen concrete collecting on ClearShield® panels from below the bridge. -Eliminate risks related to deteriorated lumber supporting inspection and maintenance staff. -Light transmission allows for visibility to soffit to evaluate condition and make repairs.
-Complete coverage of bay width acts as a layer of protection for people and property below. -Transparency allows for inspection and maintenance staff to see the underside of the deck for routine inspection. -Lightweight panels allow for maintenance and inspection staff to move panels easily to access soffit without special equipment.
