Movement Joints
Emseal Movement Joint Systems -
Now available In the UK
Emseal movement joint systems and their strapline ‘Watertight by Design’, are well known throughout the world and have been used on many different types of structure for many years, including a number of projects in the UK, but on a rather ad-hoc basis and mostly for deck joints on multi- storey parking structures. However the full range of Emseal Movement Joint Systems is now available throughout the UK with full technical support and service, exclusively from NCC with their Head Office in Chorley (Call 01257 266695 Email:
technical@nccinaction.co.uk).
Emseal produce virtually tailor-made solutions for new, refurbishment and retrofitting of difficult movement joint situations, ensuring that these are not only watertight, but also weather and traffic resistant whilst accommodating thermal expansion and movement up to 100% many are also designed to maintain the integrity of fire-proofing / fire-resistance and even provide excellent acoustic insulation.
Take a look at the full range of Emseal solutions for use on your projects, including horizontal and vertical joints and connections on both external and internal walls, basement slabs and roof structures - wherever you need a secure, durable, watertight solution that is also quick and easy to install.
Emseal systems are preformed and bonded in position so there is no need for intrusive mechanical fixings with all of their associated time, cost and potential damage to the structure - Just quick, clean and simple solutions to difficult and often complex movement joint sealing requirements.
Two recent international projects highlighting just some of the Emseal Product’s include the Basra Sport City Stadium in Iraq and the Atlanta Hartfield Airport Rental Car Parking Garages on a monumental scale.
Case Study - Basra Sports City Stadium (FIFA standard), Basra, Iraq
Case Study - World’s largest Rental Car Parking Facility, Hartsfield Jackson Airport, Atlanta, USA
This spectacular 65,000 seat, combined FIFA and Olympic event compliant stadium in the City of Basra, Southern Iraq, is built on geology that dictated the need for substantial seismic stadium expansion joints up to 40mm wide.
The Project Design team had good experience on major projects with Emseal Jointing systems for use in demanding situations such as stadium concourses, so they specified the Emseal SJS-Seismic Joint System. Each custom assembly was produced in our Toronto facility to the measured field dimensions for installation according to a detailed plan, with training at Emseal’s Boston, USA Training Centre, with a full- size mock-up of a tread-riser-tread assembly to match those in Basra.
The Emseal SJS System ensures continuity of a watertight seal through changes in plane and direction, whilst accommodating the potentially high movement within the joints and without transferring any tensile stress to the structure.

The enormous new 2.6 million m2 Consolidated Rental Car Parking Facility (CRCF) has massive decks on its 2 x four-storey parking structures that have large expansion joints designed into these to accommodate the anticipated high levels of structural movement in the structure, due to the significant thermal expansion and contraction, plus dynamic loading in daily service.
Emseal Thermaflex was specified as the parking deck expansion joint and the Emseal SJS System was chosen for the wider structural joints in the main parking deck spans. This features an innovative non-invasive anchoring design, which means it is the only cover-plate- based expansion joint system that is not anchored into the concrete through stress inducing metal dowels, anchors, or hard connections of any kind that can also be a corrosion risk.
In addition, Emseal’s Horizontal Colorseal system was also used for service area interior joints, as well as Emseal’s Seismic Colorseal for wall joints.
