Bilbao Bridge

Case story

 

Bilbao bridge, detail

Designers of the Padre Arrupe Bridge linking the Guggenheim museum to the University of Deusto set out to make a lasting impression on Bilbao’s awe-inspiring landscape.

The bridge’s exterior demanded a material with a seemingly impossible synthesis of aesthetics, corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance.

Working closely with the designers, we developed a stainless steel that was able to satisfy all these demands, with a finish quality that will ensure its beauty endures.
