Fixing Elastomeric Expansion Joint

Step 1:  Theoretically after Completion of Deck slab Spacing shall be left for installation of Expansion joint at the time of laying wearing surface mostly Bituminous, but practically it's not possible due to roller movement and compaction issue as it can spread on joint at the time of compaction. So, wearing surface is laid throughout then cutting is done up to rough deck slab surface.

Step 2: Thorough cleaning is done as cutting leaves lots of debris behind, damaged or dead mortar shall be removed.

Step 3: Place reinforcement appropriately, Install foam in the appropriate separator.

Step 4: Start drill for bolts after cleaning the area and fix the bolts with special materials.

Step 5: Reinforcement beam is made to carry the elastomer's part.

Step 6: Fixing the elastomers parts and adjusting it with bolts and fixing toes above it and sealing.
