Joint transitions
Discover Gacon's innovative joint crossings for long life and safe, efficient traffic flow
A joint transition is a major maintenance problem in industrial floors and warehouses. The continuous mechanical load on these joint transitions causes unevenness in the floor, which can cause major breakdowns on trucks, stackers, forklifts and lifts. The cost of this can be high.
However, the solution is not as simple as it seems. To accommodate the movement of a floor, a joint transition is necessary. By applying a dilatation or break, the movement between floor sections is accommodated. A concrete floor without breaks could result in uncontrolled cracking which causes material damage.
Apart from material damage, injuries can also occur to the operators of these means of transport. An unexpected movement of a forklift can cause major damage, loss of products and even soil contamination from spills of oils and chemicals.
Initial damage images are often crumbling corners that eventually lead to serious long-term damage. On well-maintained and renovated flat floors, without disruptive breaks, major damage can be avoided and employees are more productive.
Our joint crossings are designed to perform long-lasting and reliable under severe traffic conditions and various weather conditions. We use high-quality materials and advanced techniques to provide a durable solution.
We have extensive experience in the professional renovation of joint transitions and install a specially shaped renovation profile for this purpose. This MP SINUS REPAIR JOINT renovation profile is particularly durable and thus an excellent long-term solution.
After placing the profile, the concrete floor is filled with a fast-curing mortar with a very high compressive strength such as MasterEmaco T 1400 FR.
