Water enters through a joint that opens and closes with temperature or movement.
Use the site evidence to agree a project-specific method with the responsible engineer, concrete producer, manufacturer or specialist applicator.
Water enters through a joint that opens and closes with temperature or movement.
Measure joint width range; inspect waterbar, sealant adhesion, backing and cover protection.
A rigid bridge or incorrectly dimensioned sealant cannot accommodate movement.
Use an engineered movement joint system suited to displacement and water exposure.
Prepare bond faces, use correct backing and primer, and protect the assembly from traffic.
Inspect geometry and adhesion, then verify watertightness under the project test.
Do not grout a designed movement joint solid.
