Project Requirements

The new shared path required a high-performance seismic expansion joint system. Sika’s EMSEAL SJS-Seismic joint system is designed to provide a watertight and trafficable joint sealing solution for large joint sizes from 50 mm – 450 mm wide with excellent movement. The finished result had to be pedestrian-, bicycle- and vehicle-friendly.

Challenges

The foam joints are protected with a proprietary aluminium cover plate which must sit flush on the surface.

Sika Solution

Sikadur-31 CF Normal is a moisture tolerant, thixotropic, structural 2-component adhesive and repair mortar. The Product was applied over the EMSEAL SJS seismic joints to create an even surface before cover plates could be laid.
