Expansion joints mageba expansion joints – for lasting driver comfort Ensuring a smooth driving surface Expansion joints play a vital role on almost any bridge, because the bridge deck moves as a result of temperature and other influences. The movement gap at each end of the bridge deck must be bridged with a flat and even driving surface: the expansion joint. As bridge technology improves, and the spans of new bridges continue to increase, the demands on bridge expansion joints also increase. Wide and well-proven range mageba supplies a wide range of expansion joint types, including single...

Seismic protection mageba seismic devices – damping, absorbing and protecting Growing demand for seismic protection Bridges and other structures can be subjected to extreme movements and vibrations during an earthquake. This can cause a structure to fail if suitable protection has not been detailed.
