Expansion joints are absolutely critical to infrastructure. They literally serve as structural cartilage, allowing the structure to absorb movement and changes in temperature. Before expansion joints were introduced into the construction industry, infrastructure was left to simply crack and deteriorate.
Contech Services, Inc. has executed thousands of expansion joint projects over the past 20 years, and is often called upon to provide expertise and consulting in the most complex cases. Our certified applicators have installed thousand of lineal feet of expansion joints, and are known for their in-depth technical expertise, problem-solving abilities, and surgeon-like precision.
Contech Services is able to complete even the most difficult installation or repair expansion joint project. It is highly critical for expansion joints to operate correctly. Our expansion joints are manufactured to the highest standards allowing traffic to continuously flow between structures while allowing for motion, temperature variations, shrinkage, and expansion.
Installing or replacing expansion joints can be a difficult process without the right technical expertise and experience. Every Contech field technician undergoes extensive training and certification specific to installing and repairing expansion joints using our unique products.

Expansion joints can reach failure for several different reasons. Multiple factors can cause the joint to become damaged or fail, leading to infrastructure issues and possible disaster. When repairing expansion joints, it is important to diagnose the root cause of the failure to properly mitigate and avoid future occurrences. Expansion joint failure typically occurs as a result of:
Incorrect joint system installed
Excessive loads / traffic exposure
Improper installation
Poor maintenance
Excessive structural movement
These examples are a small cross-section of what may cause expansion joint problems. At Contech Services, our technicians take pride in solving the most complex joint expansion projects, making sure the project results in long-term effectiveness and value.
