Engineers

Design a better way to build. Eliminate traditional pour strips while improving concrete quality, construction sequencing, and overall project performance—helping deliver a better building with less time, cost, and disruption.

Learn More ››

Architects

Design Without Permanent Expansion Joints. Reduce double columns, joint covers, interrupted finishes, and other architectural compromises. PS=Ø-EJ accommodates required movement during construction with the opportunity to close the joint when conditions permit.

Owners

Put Your Building to Work Sooner. PS=Ø can shorten the construction schedule by months, helping reduce project carrying costs, accelerate occupancy or revenue, and deliver a better building sooner.

The PS=Ø System

Solve concrete movement without creating construction delays or permanent joints.

Closure Strips

Concrete needs to shrink. The structure doesn't need to wait. PS=Ø maintains continuous reinforcement while allowing the movement the concrete needs—eliminating the traditional closure strip and its construction delay.

Expansion Joints

A permanent solution shouldn't be required for a temporary problem. PS=Ø-EJ allows the structure to move during construction, then restores continuous reinforcement after the building is enclosed—eliminating the permanent joint where appropriate.
