Secondary water-stop materials are standard specifications. 3) Large expansion and contraction capacity for wide gaps: One of the largest expansion capacities among NEXCO-approved products. Capable of accommodating expansion from 150mm to 350mm, with a maximum gap of 730mm for floor slabs. 4) Ultra-low noise and vibration-free: A vertical integrated structure with 32mm thick steel plates arranged vertically and alternately, making it difficult for air vibrations to transmit under the beams, thereby reducing noise. Smooth and comfortable driving experience. The small wheel load support interval minimizes impact vibrations during travel. 5) Easy to install: Can be constructed without road closures by regulating lane usage on one side, applicable for both new installations and repairs. Lighter compared to conventional large products. 6) Maintenance-free: The load support plate and anchor plate are designed as a vertical integrated structure with high durability. Additionally, the structure prevents damage from metal fatigue, allowing for visual maintenance management. Visual inspections are sufficient, eliminating the need for regulated sound inspections. 7) NETIS registered: This new technology is registered in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's database system "NETIS."
