Densoband joint seal at East Midlands Airport
Densoband joint seal at East Midlands Airport
Winn & Coales (Denso) Ltd's Densoband has been used as a joint seal on recently completed contracts at East Midlands Airport and RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire, carried out by Cemex UK Construction Services Ltd of Saville Street, Sheffield.
In both contracts the Densoband joint seal was applied to the interface between the tarmacadam asphalt and concrete slab areas. In the case of RAF Waddington a PQ high density concrete is used. Around 300 linear metres of Densoband were laid at East Midlands.
Densoband is a polymer modified bitumen strip which is approved by the British Airports Authority as well as die Department of Transport in the Manual of Contnc.
Seventh edition for uae in asphalt wearing course joints for asphalt, and asphalt to concrete interface, as an alternative to the previously commonly used bitumen. Because water, salts, pollutants and weed seeds, etc. cannot penetrate the sealed joint, it remains unaffected by extremes of temperature and further deterioration.
