This first example was on a small set back access road at street level with a large
subterranean carpark bellow, servicing a late 19th century grand gated residential
apartment building on the edge of Hyde park.
The existing Joints had totally failed as they had far suppased there usual life span
and the carpark below suffered from considerable water egress
and was putting some of the rather impressive cars stored there at risk of damage.

We opted for a robust and versatile joint from Inpros SR series that allowed for an intergrated
waterproofing system that would tie in to the substraight bellow the asphalt.
We had to dismantle raised brick planters either side of the foot paths and make
alterations to the kerbing to allow the waterproofing to continue the full length
of the joint, we then reinstated both planters and kerbs.

Woking was a new hotel, carpark and commercial spaces that would be attached
to an existing structure right in the center of Woking.
There where serval different joint installed with there own specific requirements
including fireproofing, waterproofing and high tolerance for movement in all directions.
The EPDM gasketed joint From the C-S groups ZB series shown bellow was used primarily in the carpark between two newly built
structures and would be required to be waterproof, durable to withstand vehicles,
flush with the finished surface and take considerable movement.

At Canary Wharf we installed a similar joint to the above Kensington but in this instance we used the TransAtec series from the UK based Vexcolt.
Initially this seemed like a straightforward job as the upstands where ready, there was no
waterproofing reqired, just nice straight lines and a few right angles.
The rubber insert that makes the joint waterproof would be welded together to allow any
runoff from the building to follow the joint to the drainage system.

On mobilisation on site we where issued new drawing that showed a
revolving door on the rear and a double revolving door at the entrance.
As these joints are only designed to be installed in straight line we went back to the
manufacturer for a solution, this came at a considerable cost
so, we developed a process that could be done on site if required at a more manageable cost.

After the disastrous fire that occurred in 2023 to the existing terminal carpark 2
it was decided to rebuild and rethink so as to learn and avoid similar incidents
happening again.

We were asked to install foam compression joints from Tremco and Sika that would allow for regular
movement, would create a watertight seal and be fireproof to the required
standards in the UK.
Due to the nature of these foam joints being over 100mm wide in some places
a robust cover plate from Veda France to protect the expansion joint system beneath.
