Extruded Sealants

Our Hot Applied N1 and N2 Sealants are designed to maintain and repair joints in both concrete and asphalt surfaces, particularly in high-traffic areas such as highways, airfields, and car parks. These sealants offer the following advantages:

BS EN14188-1 compliance: fully compliant with the relevant industry standards, ensuring the highest quality and performance.
Excellent expansion & contraction properties: these sealants expand and contract with the surface, providing reliable performance in changing weather conditions.
Protection against water and dirt: the sealants effectively prevent damage caused by water ingress and dirt accumulation, preserving the integrity of the surface.
Quick application and cure: can be applied year-round, with rapid curing to minimise disruption to traffic and users of the area.

Cold Applied Fuel-Resistant Joint Sealants

For areas with a high likelihood of fuel spillage, such as aircraft fuelling zones, oil terminals, garage forecourts, and cargo parking areas, we recommend Cold Applied Fuel-Resistant Joint Sealants. These sealants offer:

Fuel resistance: they protect joints from diesel, petrol, aircraft fuel, and other hazardous materials, in addition to water and dirt.
Excellent expansion & contraction properties: just like our hot-applied sealants, these cold-applied sealants perform effectively under varying environmental conditions.
Durability in harsh environments: ideal for areas where fuel resistance is critical, ensuring long-lasting protection.

Specialist Saw Cutting and Joint Reforming Services

In addition to our sealant solutions, we offer specialised saw cutting equipment and services, including:

Creation of joints in new/green concrete: to allow the surface to properly expand and contract, ensuring long-term durability.
Crack chasing and sealing: we chase out existing cracks in concrete and seal them or apply overbanding, preventing further damage.
Reforming existing joints: for the effective reapplication of sealants to existing joints, restoring their protective qualities.

Case Studies

A1(M)

A12 Kelvedon

A1(M)

Construction value: £35k

Client: RMS Ltd (DBFO Operator)

Key dates: September 2024 – October 2024

Project Overview

Taylor Woodrow has a long and successful record of delivering major pavement maintenance works for DBFO Operator RMS Ltd on the A1(M). The A1(M) is a busy strategic motorway in the East of England with which Taylor Woodrow has a long affiliation, and is the current term contractor on behalf of RMS Ltd.

Project Specifics

ESM was contracted for saw cutting ahead of the major maintenance. Works ESM conducted included:

Resurfacing of carriageway in both directions.
‘Crack and seat’ to existing concrete carriageway.

Taylor Woodrow utilised a vertical integration model for a large amount of works through this scheme.

This integrated model allowed us to keep more control over our supply chain and guarantee the quality of our work.

As part of the vertical integration, ESM will complete the joint sealing of cracks within the existing concrete which will then be overlaid with a thin asphalt surface.

A12 Kelvedon

Construction value: £100k

Client: Highways Agency

Key dates: November 2008 – April 2009

Project Overview

The A12 is the major route from London to the East of England (Norfolk, Suffolk). It required major maintenance to bring it up to the required safety standards. The works were to the carriageway between Rivenhall End and Highfields Overbridge, and sought to strengthen the existing concrete road surface along with the implementation of noise-reducing asphalt. This increased the life of the carriageway, as well as providing a smoother, safer, and quieter road surface. Motorist safety was also improved by the construction of nearside and offside hard strips, the replacement and upgrade of street lighting, and major drainage improvements.

Project Specifics

Taylor Woodrow was contracted for this major maintenance. Works included:

‘Crack and seat’ to existing concrete carriageway.
Widening of the carriageway to bring the road up to modern safety standards.
New safety fencing.
Resurfacing of carriageway in both directions using Eurovia’s UL-M thin surfacing system supplied by our Dagenham plant.
Re-surfacing of the existing slip roads at Junction 23.
Renewal and upgrading of safety barriers along the length of the works.
Refurbishment of the existing footway and cycle ways.
