Concrete structures require planned joints to accommodate movement between slabs, walls, foundations, columns, pavements and other adjoining elements. Where the approved joint detail requires a compressible filler material, the board must match the specified thickness, dimensions, composition and performance requirements.
Best International Contracting Company supplies expansion joint filler board Saudi Arabia construction and industrial projects can specify for approved concrete-joint applications. Requirements may include complete sheets, cut strips and bitumen-impregnated fibreboard for expansion and isolation joints.
Each enquiry should identify the required board type, thickness, sheet size, joint application, quantity, manufacturer conditions and documentation requirements. The supplied product should correspond with the approved drawing, bill of quantities or material specification.
Bitumen-impregnated fibreboard is used as a compressible filler material in specified expansion and isolation joints in concrete construction. Depending on the approved detail, the material may be supplied as complete sheets or cut into strips of the required width and length.
Customers looking for bitumen impregnated filler board KSA projects require should provide the board thickness, sheet dimensions, joint application, quantity and any specified manufacturer or performance requirements.
Product properties can vary between manufacturers and grades. Composition, density, compressibility, recovery, water absorption and other specified characteristics should therefore be checked against the approved project requirement.
Fillerboard should also be distinguished from the exposed joint sealant. Where sealant, backing material, waterstop or another joint component is required, it should be identified separately within the approved joint detail.
Where a project specification identifies Hunton fillerboard, the exact approved product requirement should be confirmed before supply.
Customers requiring Hunton filler board Saudi Arabia projects have specified should provide information such as:
The use of the Hunton name should not be treated as confirmation that any bitumen-impregnated board is acceptable. The proposed product should be compared with the approved material description and project requirements before it is supplied.
Concrete Floor and Slab Joints
Fillerboard can be employed in intended separation joints in concrete floors, external slabs, hardstand area and industrial flooring. The combined layout, the depth and thickness of the board must be in accordance with the approved drawings.
In areas where vehicle traffic, chemical exposure or heavy operation use is likely, the exposed sealant and edge protection requirements should also be addressed in the entire detail of the joints.
Bases and Foundations
Isolation joints can be needed between foundations and equipment bases, columns, walls and adjoining slabs. The fillerboard assists in maintaining the separation that is developed and minimizes direct contact between autonomously moving components.
The project engineer must ensure that the board is full depth, partial depth or other materials mixed with other joints.
Walls, Columns and Structural Interfaces
Compressible fillerboard may be necessary to fill concrete walls, columns and structural interfaces where separation is required by the design. The board widths or shapes might be required to be cut to fit the joint detail.
Any cutting/prefabrication specification must also be enquired along with tolerances and packaging specifications.
Roads, Pavements and External Concrete
Appropriate fillerboard can be indicated in concrete pavements, kerbs, channels and walkways or other external works. Selection, storage and installation of the product should take into account the exposure to water, sunlight, change in temperature, and construction traffic.
The board should be kept protected until installation and should not be left damaged, distorted or contaminated within the joint.
Drainage, Utility and Infrastructure Works
Joint filler can be needed to surround concrete channels, culverts, chambers, utility structures and the like in infrastructure projects. The drawing ought to determine the position of the joint and the dimensions of the board needed.
The entire approved joint system should be checked where the joint is subjected to constant water pressure or subjected to an arduous chemical environment. Fillerboard per se is not to be offered as waterproofing system.
Building and Architectural Concrete
Fillerboard can be used as an interface between slabs, walls, column, kerbs and other elements of concrete. Waterproofing and movement-joint profiles where these are a part of the design should be coordinated with the product.
The visible joints should be paid special attention to so that the depth of the boards can enable the required surface treatment to be properly installed.
Notable difference: Fillerboard is a compressible material used as joint-filling. Neither is it necessarily a joint sealant, waterstop, waterproofing membrane or structural repair product. Where necessary, sealants and other parts of joints should be specified separately.
The question must mention the necessary thickness, width, length and number. The sheet size and thickness offered by different manufacturers are standard and project drawings might need strips of entire boards.
In case of cut strips, the customer is expected to supply the width, length, tolerance, labelling and packing arrangement that is completed. The joint length and joint depth, cutting yield, laps where practicable and sensible site wastage should be taken into account in quantity calculations.
BIC has the ability to quote complete sheets, cut pieces or a combination where it is commercially and technically viable. Before production or cutting can commence final dimensions should be checked as the customised material is not always returnable.
The evaluation of products should be done on the basis of the approved project requirement and available technical data of the manufacturer. The review can cover the specification of board composition, density, compressibility, recovery, extrusion resistance, water absorption, durability, temperature appropriateness, and compatibility with adjoining joint materials, depending on the specification.
The customer or identified in the approved standard should provide required values. BIC does not use an unspecified board to assign performance values, or substitute the engineering review of a project.
In case an alternative product is given it should be made clear through the technical comparison whether there are any variations in the composition, dimensions, performance, documentation and manufacturer. Prior to delivery, they should be approved.
BIC handles requirements as a concrete joint filler board supplier for projects where the board is identified through drawings, material specifications, bills of quantities or approved product descriptions.
The enquiry should identify the intended joint type and application, such as:
The required joint depth, board width, thickness, sheet dimensions and exposed conditions should be clearly identified.
Fillerboard is supplied as a joint-filling material. Joint design, structural movement calculations, waterproofing design and repair of existing joints remain separate from the product requirement.
As an expansion joint board supplier KSA projects can approach for defined requirements, BIC can consider complete sheets or cut-strip requirements for planned concrete work.
Orders should identify:
For phased concrete work, quantities may be arranged by building, area, concrete pour or work front where this is part of the agreed order.
Where boards are cut to project-specific dimensions, those dimensions should be checked before cutting because customised material may have limited possibilities for reuse or return.
BIC supports contractors and project teams looking for a filler board supplier Saudi Arabia requirements can be submitted to with complete material details.
A fillerboard enquiry should normally identify the composition, thickness, width, length, quantity and intended concrete-joint application.
Where an approved manufacturer or equivalent-product condition applies, it should be stated before the product is confirmed. Any proposed difference in board composition, thickness, dimensions or manufacturer should be clearly reviewed against the project requirement.
For urgent requirements, the same dimensional and product information remains necessary so that the correct board can be identified.
The necessary documents can be a technical datasheet, a manufacture information, a compliance statement, a test or examination report, a country of origin or a packing list material submittal documents. The precise list ought to be mentioned during enquiry level.
The availability of documentation may be different among manufacturers and products. An appropriate record must thus be verified prior to the customer accepting the quotation.
Where the project needs to be controlled in receiving and distribution, packages should be distinguishable, by product, thickness, dimensions and quantity. All project specific labels must be given prior to the packing.
The amount of fillerboard is normally correlated with the area of joint as opposed to its linear length only. The joint depth/board width, the thickness of the sheet, the size of the sheet, the cutting layout and anticipated wastage should be taken into account in the calculation.
BIC will be able to check the provided quantity schedule and identify lacking dimensional information. The ultimate take-off lies in the hands of the customer unless a distinct measured scope has been agreed.
Shifts in the depth of the joints or the thickness of the board may have a significant influence in the quantity demanded. New drawings are to be communicated by the time it is cut or dispatched.
Boards should be packed and transported in a manner that reduces bending, edge damage, moisture exposure and contamination. Strips cut could need to be bundled or boxed in such a way that the dimensions can be recognized.
On-site, the material must be stored flat or otherwise as per the manufacturers specifications, rain, standing water and excessive heat should be kept away, it should not be in direct contact with contamination and damage of construction. The heavy materials are not to be piled up in such a manner that the boards are likely to get permanently deformed.
Review of boards should be done before installation, damaged, saturated, broken or highly distorted boards. Materials that can no longer sustain the desired shape of the joint should not be used by the site teams.
The position of the board should be at the approved joint line and should be secured as necessary, so that it does not move during the reinforcement, formwork or concrete placement. The sealant or surface treatment indicated should be permissible in the top level where indicated.
There should be no concrete bridges that overcome the intended separation of joints. Connections, corners and intersections must be in accordance with the approved detail.
The contractor or party that is named in the project scope is the one in charge of installation. The material and supporting documents provided by the order are supplied by BIC, however, it does not substitute site engineering, supervision or inspection.
