Joints are maintenance components. Joint fillings must be regularly repaired or replaced in order to confidently achieve the planned service life of concrete slabs and thus ensure their sustainability.
Compliance with maintenance intervals depending on the joint filling system
Maintenance of joint functionality, seal and guaranteed movement capacity
To maintain the durability of the traffic area through early repairs at low cost
Compliance with maintenance intervals reduces the costs over the surface’s entire service life
To minimise the risk of heat damage (blow-ups) with old surfaces
Renewal of sealants or joint profiles
Replacement of joint filling systems with alternative options
Sealing of joints to prevent water getting in and causing subsequent damage due to erosion of the support layer
Prevents foreign substances (e.g. dirt, sand) from getting into the joint gap, which impair free movement and may lead to subsequent damage such as heat blow-ups
Functional joints ensure the durability of the traffic area
Can also be carried out at off-peak times with short time windows
Repair of joints according to German ZTV BEB-StB
Removing the joint fillings
Cleared out joint
Cleaning the joint
Use of round knotted steel brushes
Inserting the undersealing
