Joint Sealing
What is Joint Sealing?
Joint sealing is the process of applying durable sealing materials to construction and expansion joints in concrete and masonry structures. By preventing water infiltration and soil migration, this process protects infrastructure from erosion, deterioration, and long-term structural damage.
Problems It Solves
- Water infiltration through unsealed or deteriorated joints
- Soil erosion and void formation around structural elements
- Cracking and displacement caused by uncontrolled joint movement
- Freeze-thaw damage and environmental degradation
- Reduced lifespan of pavements, walls, and buried structures
Types of Polymers Used
High-Density Polyurethane Foams
- Expands to fill and seal leaking joints
- Provides flexible bonding in wet or dry conditions
- Protects against long-term erosion and infiltration
Structural Polyurethane Resins
- Creates rigid, load-bearing seals for structural joints
- Prevents further displacement in pavements and slabs
- Extends durability of critical infrastructure connections
Hydro-Insensitive Polymers
- Effective for joints exposed to active water infiltration
- Expands and cures under saturated or flowing conditions
- Provides lasting watertight seals in harsh environments
Benefits of Joint Sealing
Joint sealing provides an effective barrier against water and soil intrusion. By maintaining watertight joints, this process reduces erosion, prevents structural movement, and extends the performance of concrete and masonry systems.
Protect Joints and Extend Structural Life
- Prevents infiltration and soil loss through joints
- Maintains joint flexibility and structural alignment
- Compatible with multiple concrete and masonry structures
- Extends service life with long-lasting sealing performance
Key Applications

How Our Process Works
1
Investigation
Joints are inspected to determine infiltration or damage
2
Planning
Sealing materials and methods selected based on joint type and exposure
3
Access
Ports or surface entry points prepared for injection or sealant application
4
Injection
Polymers placed at controlled pressures to ensure complete sealing
5
Monitoring
Sealant performance observed during and after placement
6
Validation
Final inspection confirms watertight integrity and long-term performance
