Installation methods for Granor ETIC Expansion Joints may vary depending on the joint type. In the case of Strip Seal type joints these can be installed by either casting in the aluminum retainers with the bridge deck surface concrete pour, or by suspension of the retainer elements over a blockout in the previously constructed deck overlay. The Finger Joint Systems are always installed via the suspension over blockout method. All these joints are modularized and Granor provides full comprehensive installation kits/suspension brackets, strongbacks, etc and written diagrammatic installation instructions.
