Caltrans Structure Maintenance & Investigations Civil Transportation Engineer Tim Campbell received an Award of Merit from the International Concrete Repair Institute for his design of the Malpaso Creek Bridge rehabilitation project in Monterey County on State Route 1.
The notable aspect of the project is the Electrochemical Chloride Extraction application. This process removes Chloride ions from concrete. Chloride ions cause corrosion and deteriorate bridges, so this process stopped the corrosion.
Now the bridge can remain in service another 25 years or more.
