Expansion joints in commercial floors, parking structures, and building facades accommodate movement from temperature changes, structural deflection, and seismic activity preventing damage that occurs when concrete movement is restrained. Joint deterioration creates water infiltration, debris accumulation, and damaged joint edges requiring repair or replacement to restore proper function and appearance.

As your general contractor for commercial concrete construction and maintenance, we provide expansion joint replacement including joint evaluation, deteriorated material removal, joint preparation, and installation of modern joint systems appropriate for specific applications. Parking structure deck joints, building expansion joints, and industrial floor joints all require different systems and installation approaches.

Parking structure expansion joints present particularly demanding service conditions combining vehicular traffic wear, weather exposure, water infiltration, and de-icing chemical contact. Traffic-rated joint cover assemblies, elastomeric sealant systems, and combination approaches all serve to protect structures while accommodating movement. Failed joints allow water and chlorides to infiltrate causing the corrosion and deterioration that plague parking structures.

Fire-rated expansion joint systems in commercial buildings require specialized assemblies maintaining fire ratings while accommodating building movement. Office buildings, hospitals, and other commercial facilities where life safety depends on fire compartmentation need expansion joints that preserve fire-resistance ratings. These systems combine movement capability with fire protection meeting building code requirements.
