Expansion Joints

Expansion Joints

CEVA® Joint Systems are used as expansion joints in bridge construction and in architectural applications. They offer design flexibility and cost savings as compared to other types of expansion joints. CEVA Joint Systems utilize closed-cell foam materials. Significant advantages include excellent resistance to chemicals and hydrostatic pressure as well as UV protection and noise suppression. CEVA® Joint Systems’ unique closed cell foam designs are combined with epoxy bonders and elastomeric concrete to offer superior strength and flexibility.
