Bridge Deck Expansion Joint
Bridge Deck Expansion Joint | Galvanized Expansion Devices for Bridge Deck Joints
Bridge deck expansion joints sit in the road surface where vehicles drive directly over them, so they must be both smooth and durable. K.C.F. can manufacture the related steel components to your design drawings and hot-dip galvanize them.
What Is Bridge Deck Expansion Joint?
A bridge deck expansion joint is a device installed at joints in the bridge deck surfacing that lets vehicles pass smoothly over the joint while allowing the deck to expand and contract with temperature. Common types include finger-type and angle-steel-type steel assemblies. The steel parts are directly exposed on the road surface, where rain, mud and vehicle impact all accelerate corrosion.
Joints that vehicles drive over every day need especially durable steel parts.
Key Features of Bridge Deck Expansion Joint
Smooth Ride
Precisely made to design drawings to help the joint transition smoothly with the road surface.
Corrosion-Resistant on the Road Surface
Hot-dip galvanizing protects steel parts directly exposed to rain and mud.
Custom OEM Manufacturing to Your Drawings
We can fabricate to drawings and specifications provided by the owner, designer or contractor, and can evaluate both small-lot and volume orders.
One-Stop Service from Fabrication to Galvanizing
Materials, cutting, welding and hot-dip galvanizing are handled together, reducing the time spent on transport and coordination between plants.
Typical Applications of Bridge Deck Expansion Joint
- Highway bridge deck joints
- Elevated roads and ramps
- Urban bridges
- Parking ramp joints
- Pedestrian and bicycle bridges
- Bridge deck maintenance projects
Why Choose Hot-Dip Galvanizing for Bridge Deck Expansion Joint?
Steel exposed to rain, humidity and air pollution over time rusts easily, and corrosion resistance is the key factor in component durability.
Hot-dip galvanizing immerses steel in molten zinc, so the zinc coating bonds tightly with the steel and fully covers surfaces, edges and holes. Even if the coating is locally damaged, the surrounding zinc corrodes first to protect the steel. For bridge deck expansion joint, hot-dip galvanizing reduces the need for future rust removal and repainting.
K.C.F. specializes in hot-dip galvanizing, carrying out pretreatment, dipping and inspection in accordance with the relevant standards so every batch of components has consistent coating quality.
