Expansion Joint Systems

EXPANSION JOINT SYSTEMS

RTI installs expansion joint systems designed to accommodate structural movement without failure, protecting façades, finishes, and adjacent building systems.

Why Expansion Joints Fail

Expansion joint failures often result from misalignment, poor installation sequencing, or lack of coordination with surrounding assemblies. These failures can damage finishes and create long-term performance issues.

RTI’s Approach

RTI installs expansion joint systems with attention to constructability, movement requirements, and interface coordination. RTI is a certified installer of MM Expansion Joint Systems and participates in the
Watson Bowman ACME FTA Program and Performance Excellence program.

Typical Applications

• Structural expansion joints
• Façade and podium transitions
• Parking structures
• High-movement building interfaces

Value to the Project Team

• Movement accommodated without damage
• Protection of finishes and adjacent trades
• Reduced long-term maintenance and repair
