JOINT HEADER & SPALL REPAIR
Bridges throughout North America are deteriorating at an alarming rate. Structural damage caused by increased loadings, traffic congestion, the effect of salt
water and the high costs of repairs has increased the demand for better construction techniques and improved design and installation products for the repair.
Watson Bowman Acme continues to improve and enhance the performance
and installation of bridge expansion joint systems. Because of this constant drive to improve, there is a wide selection of systems, materials and
performance capabilities from which an owner or engineer may select.

Jeene
Multi-Directional Structural Sealing Joint System
Jeene is a patented structural sealing joint system comprised of a neoprene profile,

which is air-pressurized and bonded in place with a specially formulated epoxy adhesive. When properly installed, the high performance Jeene joint system will not
tear away, protrude out of, or slip from its original position when exposed to repeated
mechanical or thermal movements. Complete adhesion of the epoxy to the profile and
joint wall is achieved due to the air inflation during installation. Jeene is the most
durable, versatile, cost-effective, and watertight expansion joint in the industry.
FEATURES:
Accommodates forces associated with multi-directional movements

Resistant to hydrostatic pressure
Allows for the combination of shear, rotation and skew movements
Accommodates thermal movement
RECOMMENDED FOR:
Sealing joints on bridges roadways and tunnels

WaboPavementSeal
Preformed Elastomeric Joint Seal
WaboPavementSeal is a preformed elastic joint seal designed for concrete pavements. Manufactured of neoprene and installed with a lubricant adhesive, it is highly
resistant to deterioration from exposure to weather, sunlight, oils, and impact. One of
the major causes of pavement blow-up is the entrance of incompressibles entering into
the jointing systems. WaboPavementSeal is designed with an internal elastomeric
cross-sectional web design that allows the pavement to expand and contract during
temperature changes.
FEATURES:
Specifically designed for concrete pavement and low stress applications

Resistant to jet fuels, weather extremes, and high impacts
Joint configurations maintain sidewall pressure allowing uniform contact
Lubricant adhesive facilitates installation and fills minor voids in the joint
RECOMMENDED FOR:
Sealing joints for concrete pavement joints

WaboSiliconeSeal
Two Part Silicone Joint Seal
WaboSiliconeSeal is a dynamic two-part sealant designed for horizontal expansion

joints on bridges, parking decks, and open air structures. The cold applied, self-leveling, low modulus sealant is ideally suited for the new construction or repair of existing expansion joints. When properly mixed, the sealant cures rapidly to form a well
bonded elastomeric seal capable of accommodating movements + 100% /- 50% of
the joint opening. WaboSiliconeSeal does not require the use of any primers.
FEATURES:
+ 100%/ - 50 % joint movement

Rapid Cure skins within 20 minutes and can accept traffic after 1 hour
Self-leveling and quick curing
No primer required
RECOMMENDED FOR:
Sealing horizontal joints on bridges and parking garages
Expansion joint applications with a maximum movement range
of +100% / -50% of the joint opening
Structures where minimum construction closure time is a factor
New construction or repair and maintenance of existing joints

WaboHSeal
Pre-Compressed Horizontal Expansion Joint System
WaboHSeal is a pre-compressed elastomeric coated expansion joint system designed to provide a permanent weather tight seal. Primarily used in horizontal applications, the system is sealed in place with an epoxy, which allows it to accommodate
horizontal, vertical, and skew expansion joint movements.
WaboHSeal consists of a UV stable, mico-cell, polyurethane foam impregnated with
a hydrophobic polymer and topped with a traffic grade elastomeric coating. The impregnated foam provides a valuable secondary water tight seal in case the primary
elastomeric coating is damaged. The system is supplied in pre-compressed sticks
ready to be easily installed.
FEATURES:
Can accommodate horizontal, vertical and skew expansion joint movements

No mechanical anchors allowing for easy installation
UV stable polymer impregnated foam acts as a secondary sealant

WaboSafetyFlex
Safety Cover for Expansion Joint Openings (U.S. Patent #6.751.918)
WaboSafetyFlex is a hinged, rubber encapsulated, steel cover system that is ideal for
pedestrian walkways. The design of the system reduces potential tripping hazards by
providing a smooth, slip resistant transition over expansion joint openings. Independent metal plates integral to the rubber cover allows the system to flex in response
to changes in vertical displacement between opposing slabs. In addition, the use of
metal plates provides load carrying capability across the joint opening. The rubber
cover also reduces the sound caused by pedestrian traffic as they travel across the
expansion joint opening.
FEATURES:
Metal plates flex independently and provide a load bearing cover
Reduces tripping hazzards
Rubber encapsulated metal plates eliminates the loud noise associated with
most metal cover plate systems
Lap-joint connectors allow for easy transitions between panels
Compensates for vertical offset
RECOMMENDED FOR:
Pedestrian & bridge
Bridge sidewalks & medians

WaboCrete II
Elastomeric Concrete
WaboCrete II is a two-component polyurethane expansion joint header with specialty aggregate, 100% solids material for use in exterior construction environments.
WaboCrete II is a unique mixture which monolithically bonds the expansion joint
to the deck, creating a waterproof system. WaboCrete II absorbes traffic impact
loads and evenly disperses them into the deck, while allowing the system to flex with
deck loads. It is resistant to ozone, UV, deicing chemicals, and abrasives. The addition of heat is not required to increase flow or cure the material. It will self level in
the blockout.
FEATURES:
Resistant to deicing chemicals and abrasives

Does not require the addition of heat to increase flow or cure
Ease of installation easily mixed and typically cures in within 1 to 2 hours
Self-leveling and ambient cure
Absorbs impact loads and performs in various climate conditions
RECOMMENDED FOR:
As an expansion joint header/nosing for various expansion joint systems
Spall repair of existing joint headers/nosing applications
Void filler
Photograph illustrates the flexibility of WaboCrete II
WaboCrete II, when properly installed, can accommodate a variety of different

environmental and real world conditions. Wabo Crete II has been specially formulated with the proper balance of liquid to aggregate ratio to create a product
that combines the best in hardness, strength, flexibility, and durability. Watson
Bowman Acme formulated the product to meet the demands of todays expansion
control applications and is proud to be the original producer of the product.
