South Africa presents a combination of environmental, traffic and socio-economic factors that create more severe and diverse bridge expansion joint operating conditions than those in many temperate countries.
These conditions are explicitly recognised in both COTO and Agrément South Africa specifications as reasons why international certifications alone are not accepted by local roads agencies. National, provincial and local authorities, as well as roads concessionaires insist that their bridge expansion joints have a proven performance track record under local or equivalent conditions.
With hands-on involvement in developing Agrément South Africa guidelines for bridge expansion joints, DSC-Zendon’s systems are, among others, fatigue-tested for overloads, UV-stabilised, and resurfacing-compatible.
In a market where joint failures cost millions of Rands in maintenance, our local innovation, certification alignment, and flawless execution make us the go-to partner for durable, compliant results.
