The design of joints in bridge decks has a critical effect on the performance and the service life of the bridge itself. This is especially true of decks with a short span or multi-sectioned bridges.
The design of the joints on short span or segmented bridges is a detail that has an enormous influence on the service life of the structure. A badly designed and / or poorly executed joint will lead to leaks and the penetration of contaminants as the bridge is subjected to dimensional changes. Combined with the dynamic loads imposed by traffic the damaging effects accumulate. Progressive deterioration of the road surface of the load bearing concrete elements will, if allowed to continue unchecked, eventually necessitate extensive and expensive repairs.
Nafutekt Plus is an economic and effective road joint system that has a long-standing and proven track record in both new construction and the repair of damaged joints.
The Nafutekt Plus system forms a durable bond between the surfacing material and the structure, and accommodates changes in length caused by dynamic loads and temperature fluctuations.
Nafutekt Plus is handled exclusively by licensed expert contractors. Nafutekt Plus guarantees a high quality and durable joint.
