T-Mat Expansion Joint

The T-Mat expansion joint consists of a solid armored expansion mat made of high-quality chloroprene with metal reinforcements (T-bars). The internal design of the expansion joint is such that due to the discontinuous steel reinforcement combined with the elasticity of the material (chloroprene), the expansion joint will not only allow for horizontal movement on either side of the joint but will also allow for transverse and vertical relative movements of adjacent bridge decks.

Britflex BEJ

A surface-mounted mechanical system, with an elastomeric insert between two metal runners /carrier rails. Set into a rapid curing resin compound known as Britflex® Resin Mortar. The polyureide resin provides unrivaled anchorage to the deck due to its remarkable bonding qualities, meaning that no mechanical fixings are required. 'BEJ' expansion joints incorporate cellular elastomeric inserts which are load-bearing enabling a range of movement to be accommodated up to 150mm. The Britflex® BEJ Expansion Joint system has worldwide approvals for use on bridge decks on all classes of roads and motorways. The Britflex® Resin Mortar is also an approved material for transition strips to all types of expansion joints.

KE - Fixed & Sliding Pot Bearings

USL Ekspan KE range of pot bearings are designed to allow the correct transfer of load whilst allowing rotation about all axis. The bearings are also designed to either allow or restrain translations depending on your requirements. The rotation is accommodated by a moulded 60IRHD rubber pad contained within the pot, restrained by a pair or trio of brass piston rings. Designed in accordance with EN1337-5

Britdex MDP System

A Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) waterproofing system comprises of up to three separate environmentally friendly layers each offering different properties to the system. The system offers a 100% effective seamless bridge deck waterproofing membrane and the design of the system means that it is extremely durable and flexible, resulting in its suitability for application to a variety of surfaces and structures. The rapid curing properties of each element of the Britdex MDP system means that substantial areas can be covered in short periods of time making the system extremely cost effective. Due to the high durability of the system, it is unaffected by surfacing operations whilst offering excellent bond strengths to both the surfacing and the bridge deck.

EnviroDeck

Envirodeck is the number one selling bridge drainage system for the UK and Ireland. A combination of innovative design and a composite non-metallic material gives a one-piece unit that is lighter and stronger than traditional systems. Envirodeck provides both surface drainage and sub-surface drainage. As advised by Highways England this is recommended to prevent serious damage to the waterproof membrane and pavement and helps you to avoid costly and disruptive repairs.

DriDeck

Dri-deck is a complete solution for the collection of water at the subsurface level that can be used in conjunction with our Envirodeck kerb drainage systems. Why use Dri-Deck? The Highways Agency has highlighted the need for effective subsurface drainage to prevent serious damage to the waterproof membrane and pavement. Such damage can require costly and disruptive repairs. Combined kerb drainage systems can be effective in draining subsurface water. However the base thickness of the unit, the mortar bed, and any regulating course can raise the subsurface collection holes above the deck level. Dri-deck provides the ideal system to capture any remaining water at this level.

Deck Repair Rapid

A pre-packed acrylic polymer modified cementitious mortar. Deck Repair Rapid is characterised by its high early strength development, rapid moisture loss, and shrinkage compensation. The material complies with the requirements of EN1504 Part 3 Class R4, as well as conforming to highways standards Series 5700, BD27/86 Clause 6 & DMRB CS 462. It is ideal for the repair of bridge decks prior to early waterproofing, highway concrete pavements, and other locations which require a fast return to service, such as emergency reinstatement of damaged or deteriorated concrete in bus depots, carparks, rail platforms, docks, airport runways and aprons.

Tredseal System

Tredseal is a fast-curing anti-slip Acrylic resin system, designed for application to concrete and asphalt substrates. This tough, flexible and hard wearing anti-slip surfacing is ideal for steel platforms. Easily mixed and installed, with minimal possession time and fast return to service, even at low temperature.

Matacryl Ready Rep Irontec

Matacryl® Ready Rep Irontec is used on infrastructure applications including surface restoration, ironwork reinstatement and anchoring or setting of steel components. Fast curing and non-sensitive to extreme temperatures, Matacryl Ready Rep Irontec is preferred by applicators, structure owners, and civil engineers for new construction and restoration projects. Matacryl Ready Rep Irontec is corrosion inhibiting and provides long-term dimensional stability.
