Elastomeric expansion joint is a bridge expansion device, primarily used for old bridge renovations, small bridges, or bridges with lower load capacities. It is designed using the principle of low shear modulus in rubber material, constructed as a unit with rubber, steel plates, or angle irons.
Crafted from high-grade elastomeric materials, ensuring durability and longevity.
Tailored designs to meet your project's specific load-bearing, displacement, and environmental requirements.
Engineered to withstand seismic forces, providing enhanced safety and stability to bridge structures.
Designed for straightforward installation, minimizing downtime during construction or maintenance projects.
Engineered to handle varying vertical loads, ensuring optimal performance under different conditions.
Tailored to accommodate displacements and rotations, maintaining structural integrity over time.

Step 1: Bridge Surface Preparation
Thoroughly clean and repair the bridge surface, ensuring a stable foundation for the expansion joint.
Step 2: Accurate Joint Positioning
Precisely place the TransFlex Expansion Joint within the designated location, aligning it seamlessly with the gaps in the bridge deck.
Step 3: Secure Ends and Align
Attach end blocks securely at each end, providing stability and ensuring proper alignment critical for optimal functionality.
Step 4: Anchor Bolts Installation
Fasten anchoring bolts securely to anchor the expansion joint firmly to the bridge structure, withstanding dynamic forces.
Step 5: Sealant Application
Apply a high-quality sealant to bridge any potential gaps, enhancing the joint’s resistance to water and debris infiltration.
Step 6: Cover Plates Installation
Install cover plates for aesthetics and protection, enhancing the bridge’s appearance and shielding the joint from external elements.
Step 7: Final Checks and Testing
Ensure all components are securely fastened, conduct a thorough final inspection, and verify the joint’s functionality through controlled movements.
