PRODUCT DATA

 Application

Thormajoint™ may be installed as new works or as a maintenance solution for worn out or damaged joints. For new works or existing bridges where the surfacing has been renewed, the surfacing shall be applied to the bridge deck including the bridge gap. After compaction and cooling the asphalt shall be removed over the expansion gap (usually to a width of 500 mm) to allow installation of the flexible plug joint.

For replacement of existing joints, often the concrete and asphalt becomes damaged as a result of the removal process. Care should be taken to ensure the joint recess is restored to good condition before filling with the new joint.
