Goodflex Bolt-Down Joints – Series 1100

Series 1100 expansion joints have proven their efficiency with time on hundreds of installations. In fact, this joint system incorporating a bolted-down strip seal has been used in Canada since 1993. First introduced in Ontario, it is now approved by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario under the Type A joint designation. These joints are provided with built-in nosing angles that protect concrete headers and resist damage often caused by snowplow blades, ensuring unparalleled durability. Series 1100 joints are designed for use on bridges, viaducts, overpasses or multi-level parking garages, among others, and can accommodate movements of up to 125 mm in some cases. When anticipated movements exceed 100 mm, the use of Goodco Z-Tech modular joints is recommended.

FEATURES

APPLICATIONS

HEAVY TRAFFIC – BRIDGES AND VIADUCTS

  1. This superior quality joint is delivered preassembled at the plant with nosing angles at each end of the concrete headers. The main angles measuring 100 mm x 100 mm x 10 mm are fastened to the concrete using anchor plates with 15M looped reinforcing bars, spaced at 250 mm center-tocenter (c/c). Studs measuring 19 mm in diameter x 200 mm, spaced at 200 mm center-to-center (c/c), are used to anchor the nosing angles measuring 75 mm x 75 mm x 10 mm. This model was developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) and is widely used in other Canadian provinces.

  2. A more economical version without nosing angles is also available.
  3. Factory preassembly is typically done using temporary assembly angles measuring 75 mm x 75 mm x 10 mm bolted onto joint elements. Slotted holes in the angles facilitate adjustment of the joint opening on site based on installation temperature, when required.

EPOXY INJECTION SYSTEM

An epoxy injection system is also available, and forms an integral part of the Type A joint approved by the MTO. Epoxy injection is performed seven days after concreting of the joint. This process helps fill voids under the angles and seal cracks that may have developed during concrete curing, making these concrete headers perfectly watertight. In Ontario, watertightness tests are required for all joints installed. These tests check watertightness of the joint and the concrete headers.
