ON THE SHOP FLOOR: Parking Expansion Joints Follow Changes In Plane and Direction

Custom curb transitions in the Thermaflex system ensure continuity of seal in change in plane from deck to sidewalk.

Anyone can make an expansion joint watertight in cross-section. It’s at changes in plane and direction that they’ll leak. That is, unless you order custom, factory-welded, reinforced, leak-tested transitions and terminations from Sika Emseal.

This week, like any other, we have a number of jobs on the shop floor for which our expert welding team are turning out custom transitions to properly seal parking decks and stadiums and roofs.

For more than 40 years, Sika Emseal has been shipping its Thermaflex parking deck expansion joint system to field measurements provided by like-minded contractors and to the specification of like-minded waterproofing consultants and engineers.

We’ve seen some extraordinary stuff over the years. In jobs like Condo on the Bay, Atlantic Station, Zurich Insurance, Lawrence Memorial Stadium, Phillies Citizens Bank Park, and hundreds of others, we’ve been challenged to make some very interesting welds. We’re always up for that challenge.
