Fibrejoint

Joint Repair System:  the Fibrejoint System has been developed to provide an alternative to the problematic experience with expansion joint systems.  It is a replacement for failing mechanical joints and asphalt plug joints. The Fibrejoint System provides a quiet, smooth riding surface, is easy to install, water-resistant, and cost competitive.

CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES:  the Fibrejoint System installation shall be centered over the existing expansion joint gap to the recommended width of 20 inches.  Variations in the width of the joint will be determined by the site engineeer and the manufacturer dependent upon the joint condition.

The previous expansion joint system must be removed to a depth which will allow the Fibrejoint system to be installed.


Saw cut the perimeter of the joint to be repaired to create a block-out. Remove all material between the joint block-out, including the wearing surface, riser bars, and any old expansion material.  Damaged concrete on the joint must be removed.


The area is cleaned and dried and the heat-resistant backer rod is installed.




A coating of the mastic asphalt is applied to form a waterproof seal.  The deflection plate is centered while the binder is elevated in temperature.




One and one half inch layers of binder and aggregate are applied until level with the surface.


A final layer of material is applied with a crushed topping stone to provide a tack-free surface.
