Overview
Joints that let the structure move without damage
Concrete and steel expand and contract with temperature, load, and shrinkage. An expansion joint gives that movement somewhere to go, so stress does not build up and crack the slab. When joints dry out, leak, or break, the structure starts taking the movement instead.
We assess the structure, diagnose the problem, and recommend a joint system and budget that suits it. Damaged joints can often be repaired with Hypalon bandage systems bonded with high-performance epoxy, rather than replaced.

FAQs
Common questions
The questions we get asked most. Can’t see yours? Call 1300 665 325.
How do I know a joint has failed?
Leaks, noise when vehicles cross, broken nosings, dried-out or missing seals, and cracking in the slab nearby.
How is a leaking joint waterproofed?
With a reinforced flashing fully adhered to both the horizontal and vertical surfaces, extending at least 100 mm up the vertical face, and sealant over an approved backer rod on vertical surfaces.
How often should joints be resealed?
It depends on local weather, traffic, the type of structure, and its age. Regular sealing keeps out water, dirt, and debris.
Where are expansion joints needed?
Roads, bridges, car parks, paving, foundations, walls, roofs, and the junctions between separate structures, lift shafts, and stairwells.
