This system has been carefully developed to provide a safe, efficient, and economical method of sealing deck movement joints. The system does not require any extensive deck drilling often needed by other expansion joints. The system utilises the proven design of the "BEJ" system, which have been extensively used throughout Britain's motorway network.

| Description |
|
There are two "UCP" joints currently being manufactured; "UCP" 50 and 70, capable of accommodating up to 50 and 70mm respectively. The system consists of heavy gauge aluminium rails, a resilient waterproof EPDM seal and an additional secondary waterproof membrane. This joint is totally sealed and will provide and impermeable seal to most liquids, salt and other abrasives, thus preventing premature damage to the joint or the structure itself. |
