Choosing Between Temporary and Permanent Concrete Movement Joint Systems

Installation of a temporary grease slipjoint on a concrete slab to allow for early-age shrinkage and post-tensioned slab shortening before structural locking.

Choosing the wrong concrete movement joint isn’t just a budget issue, it’s a structural risk. Learn the critical differences between temporary grease slipjoints for early-age shrinkage and permanent composite systems (HSC) designed to accommodate a building’s movement over its entire design life.
