Sealing of Expansion, Contraction & Construction Joints

Pavement Joints are engineered gaps integrated into concrete structures – such as roads / highways, runways and airfields to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of concrete slabs. Due to fluctuating ambient temperatures and heavy traffic loads, these slabs undergo significant thermal movement and deflection. Without properly sealed joints, incompressible materials (like grit and stones) and water can infiltrate the gaps. This leads to “spalling” (cracking of joint edges) and sub-base erosion, which eventually causes structural failure of the entire pavement.
