Procurement FAQs

Questions procurement teams ask us.

The answers that matter when shortlisting a specialist joint contractor for bridge, car park or structural works.

What types of expansion and mechanical joints do you install?
Vision SC install the full range of structural movement and expansion joints: bridge deck expansion joints, car park deck joints, structural building movement joints, buried waterproof joints and acoustic joints. We work with both proprietary mechanical joint systems and formed-in-place elastomeric systems depending on the specification.
Do you carry out expansion joint replacement as well as new installation?
Yes — joint replacement and refurbishment is a core service. We remove failed or life-expired joints, prepare the substrate, and install replacement systems. We also carry out reactive maintenance on joints that have partially failed, and planned maintenance programmes on portfolios of structures.
Can you work on live highway bridges and operational car parks?
Yes. Live-site working is a core capability — we regularly install and replace expansion joints on live highway bridges, operational car park decks and occupied buildings. We programme works to minimise disruption and manage traffic management and temporary works as part of the contract.
Do you work with local authorities and highways framework contractors?
Yes. Vision SC regularly delivers expansion joint works for local councils, highways authorities, housing associations and commercial property managers. We understand the requirements of public sector procurement and supply the full compliance documentation pack: method statements, risk assessments, programme and as-built records.
What joint systems do you install?
Vision SC install proprietary mechanical joint systems from approved manufacturers alongside formed-in-place elastomeric and nosing repair systems. We work with Emco, Howe Green, INTRAsystems, EMS and other approved partners depending on the specification and structure type.
How quickly can you respond to an urgent joint failure?
For safety-critical joint failures on highway bridges or operational structures we can typically mobilise within 2–5 working days. For planned replacement programmes we work to your project schedule. Call us directly on 01375 213119 to discuss urgent requirements.
