‘MULTIFLEX’ Joints
Freyssinet ‘MULTIFLEX’ joints are flexible bridge expansion joints where thrust caused by the structure is taken up by deformation of the elastomeric parts. These joints are made of moulded elastomer elements, vulcanised and bonded to metal inserts designed to take up the running loads and distribute the attached forces. Supplied in modules of 2 metre (up to the S250 model) and 1 metre (S350), they are installed, connected together with a high-quality adhesive for a continuous, sealed and lasting joint.
