Expansion Joints
For a bridge to endure and thrive, it needs to breathe. This is where our expertise in expansion joints comes in. Harnessing the latest technology, we provide durable, efficient, and reliable expansion joints that cater to the dynamic requirements of bridges. Our solutions help structures adjust to varying temperatures and loads, thereby preventing cracks and maintaining structural integrity.
Bridge Deck Waterproofing
Water is a silent destroyer when it comes to bridges. At Vision Specialist Contracting, we offer top-tier bridge deck waterproofing services. By creating a powerful barrier against moisture and chlorides, we can significantly extend the lifespan of your bridge decks, ensuring they stand tall and robust against the test of time and harsh weather conditions.
Anti-Slip Surfaces
Safety on the road is a priority that we never compromise on. Our anti-slip surfaces have been meticulously engineered to provide maximum friction, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring a safer, smoother drive. Whether you’re dealing with high-traffic roads, steep slopes, or sharp turns, we’ve got you covered.
Footbridge Waterproofing
Footbridges, though smaller in scale, require the same level of care and protection as vehicular bridges. Our footbridge waterproofing services provide robust defence against water and moisture damage. The result is a footbridge that remains safe, navigable, and aesthetically pleasing for pedestrians, even in the harshest conditions.
At Vision Specialist Contracting, we bring a blend of innovation, expertise, and commitment to every project. We understand that each client has unique needs and challenges, and we tailor our services accordingly. With us, you can expect the highest degree of contextual relevance in all our solutions. We don’t just offer services; we offer peace of mind, knowing your infrastructure is in safe, experienced hands.
Join us on the road to resilience and longevity. Welcome to Vision Specialist Contracting, where quality meets integrity, and customer satisfaction is a journey, not a destination.
AGOM AGFLEXJ Expansion Joints
AGOM AGFLEXJ-Series
AGOM’s HIGHWAY AGFLEXJ expansion joints are designed to enable displacements of up to 330 mm with respect to the bridge decks they are fastened to. Entirely waterproof, they are secured to the structure with suitable anchor bolts. The deformable rubber elements are vulcanised with rolled steel reinforcements made up of two angular plates and a bridge plate (standard EN 10025). AGFLEXJ joints also allow displacement of the structure’s parts relative to each other in any direction.
Advantages of AGFLEXJ-Series Expansion Joints;
WATERPROOF:
AGFLEXJ joints are entirely waterproof.
EASE OF ASSEMBLY:
AGFLEXJ joints are extremely easy to fit. The joint’s elements are connected together with a male-female coupling and secured to the structure with suitable anchor bolts.
CORROSION RESISTANCE:
The steel structure is thoroughly embedded in the rubber, meaning it is protected from the atmospheric agents.
LOW NOISE:
Thanks to the special design of the rubber cover, the joint makes little noise as vehicle runs over it.
LONG SERVICE LIFE:
The special anti-abrasive rubber used to manufacture AGOM joints has been designed to withstand the action of oil, grease, petrol and ageing due to constant exposure to sunlight and changes in temperature.
INTERCHANGEABLE:
The AGFLEXJ is a particularly suitable choice for replacing existing joints.
AGOM AGLEXBJ-Series
AGOM’s AGFLEXBJ-type expansion joints are designed to enable very large displacements with respect to the bridge decks they are fastened to. Entirely waterproof, they are secured to the structure with suitable anchor bolts. The joint movement can be obtained or by deformation of rubber elements vulcanised with rolled steel reinforcements or by compression and extension of rubber bellows (see below pictures). The gap between structures is overcome by a bridge steel zinc coated plate (standard EN 10025).
Advantages of AGFLEXBJ-Series Expansion Joints;
WATERPROOF:
AGFLEXBJ joints are entirely waterproof.
EASE OF ASSEMBLY:
AGFLEXBJ joints are easy to fit. The joint’s elements are connected together with a male-female coupling and secured to the structure with suitable anchor bolts. The bridge plate is connected to the rubber mats by bolts and plugs.
CORROSION RESISTANCE:
The steel structure is thoroughly embedded in the rubber, meaning it is protected from the atmospheric agents. The bridge plate is zinc coated and the connection plugs are made of stainless steel.
LONG SERVICE LIFE:
The special anti-abrasive rubber used to manufacture AGOM joints has been designed to withstand the action of oil, grease, petrol and ageing due to constant exposure to sunlight and changes in temperature.
Quality of materials
All the expansion joints are manufactured using only first class rubber (natural or synthetic) in accordance with the main international standards. Agom can manufacture also expansion joints with dielectric rubber.
