Structural joints for R3S1N: supply and technical assistance for installation in Sabbio Chiese (Brescia) at a production facility

In projects involving industrial flooring, finished surfaces and areas subject to transit frequent and heavy, the choice of structural joint It cannot be considered a secondary detail. The joint must ensure continuity between the surfaces and their durability, absorb expected movements, withstand the stresses of use, and integrate properly with the existing or newly installed flooring.

For R3S1N srl, in Sabbio Chiese, in the province of BresciaCPR GIUNTI took care of a supply with technical assistance for the installation of structural joints, intervening in a particularly interesting context due to the need to connect three different types of product within the same functional system.

The intervention required an accurate evaluation of the installation conditions, the technical survey on site, the development of the executive drawings to be transmitted to the production and the CPR GIUNTI technical support, with the aim of obtaining an effective result from both a technical and aesthetic point of view.

A technical intervention on multiple types of joints

Every pavement has specific needs. In some areas, it may be necessary to ensure trafficability, in others, continuity with the finished floor, and in others, more significant openings may need to be managed with high-resistance solutions.

In the case of the intervention carried out for R3S1N, the peculiarity was precisely the combination of three different products:

• HDS 100, 100 mm structural joint;
• AL78N, 90mm aluminium joint applied to finished floor.
• SINUS 06NC360-20R, 200 mm joint with double visible profile in AISI 304 stainless steel and sinusoidal cut.

The presence of different products made the preliminary work of theCPR GIUNTI technical officeThe survey not only served to verify the dimensions of the openings, but also to understand how to correctly connect the various systems, maintaining functionality, planarity, and visual continuity.

From survey to technical executives

In an intervention of this type, the survey phase represents a crucial step. choice of joint must take into account the width of the opening, the expected movements, the type of pavement, the transit conditions and the required final result.

For this reason, CPR GIUNTI's technical support went beyond simply supplying materials. The technical office developed the necessary production drawings, translating the construction site's needs into feasible solutions consistent with actual installation conditions.

This approach helps reduce the risk of inconsistencies between design, product, and installation, especially when multiple joints must communicate with each other in the same project.

HDS 100: driveway joint for industrial flooring

Among the products used are: HDS 100, a 100 mm structural joint used in the flat version, in the floor-wall corner and in the 90° flat corner.

HDS is one of the most widely used CPR solutions for industrial flooring, as it maintains good flatness with the adjacent flooring and offers three-axis sliding capacity. It is suitable for situations where the joint must withstand the passage of pallet trucks, forklifts, and vehicles with wheels suitable for transit on industrial surfaces. For this reason, it is among the reference solutions for driveway and trolley joints.

In these environments, proper joint integration is essential: a poorly managed discontinuity can become critical for traffic, safety of use, and the durability of the flooring.

The use of a system like HDS allows us to respond to structural movement and daily use needs, maintaining continuity between surfaces and reducing the effects of vehicle passage on the joint point.

AL78N: continuity on finished floor

The second product used is AL78N, 90 mm joint made entirely of aluminum and applied to the finished floor.

This solution is particularly useful when the joint needs to be integrated into an already completed surface or when it's necessary to ensure the functionality and cleanliness of the final result. Aluminum allows for a durable technical profile that blends seamlessly with the flooring.

In case R3S1N, AL78N It contributed to the connection between the different areas of intervention, allowing for continuity between the surfaces and aesthetic coherence at the transition point.

SINUS 06NC360-20R: load resistance and shock-free passage

The third system used is SINUS 06NC360-20R, 200 mm joint with double visible profile in AISI 304 stainless steel and sinusoidal cut.

La sinusoidal geometry It represents an important technical element, as it allows vehicles to pass without sharp impacts on the joint. This aspect becomes particularly important with heavy loads and rigid wheels, where the discontinuity of the gap can generate localized stresses on the pavement and the profile itself.

The SINUS structure offers a solution suited to contexts requiring mechanical resistance, durability, and quality of transit. The double exposed stainless steel profile also contributes to a tidy aesthetic.

Custom joints for every construction site need

The SINUS 06NC360-20R joint installed in the R3S1N Srl construction site represents a customized solution, developed starting from the technical basis of the model SINUS 06NC100-R3In this case, larger dimensions, different movement needs and a capacity adequate for the operating conditions of industrial flooringCustomizing joints is, in fact, an activity that CPR Giunti carries out daily, adapting profiles, sizes, and technical characteristics to the specific needs of each construction site. As also indicated in the CPR Giunti catalog, downloadable from the siteTo correctly identify the joint and proceed with an adequate supply, it is essential to provide the necessary technical data, including the size of the gap, expected movement, type of flooring, transit, internal or external installation, any need for water tightness and the presence of chemical agents.

The value of installation in an intervention with structural joints

The final quality of a structural joint project depends not only on the product choice, but also on the precision of the installation. For this reason, collaboration between the technical office, production, and installation team is crucial.

In the case ofintervention for R3S1NThe result was possible thanks to the correct technical understanding of the construction site's needs and the meticulous execution of the installation team. When different products need to be combined in the same system, every detail is important: dimensions, alignment, flatness, connections, finishes, and fastening methods must be carefully managed.

A well-designed and well-installed structural joint contributes to the functionality of the pavement, the safety of traffic and the overall durability of the project.

CPR GIUNTI: technical support for designers, companies, and installers

From surveying to developing the detailed drawings, from product selection to technical advice for installation, the goal is to identify the most suitable solution for the application context, reducing the risk of errors and improving the overall quality of the work.

The project carried out for R3S1N srl confirms the importance of a tailored technical approach when choosing structural joints. A single product isn't always sufficient to meet all construction site needs: it's often necessary to combine multiple solutions, evaluating the surface behavior, usage conditions, and the desired end result.

CPR GIUNTI supports designers, companies and installers in the choice of structural joints, driveway and trolley joints, profiles for finished floors and specific solutions for industrial flooringFor a technical evaluation of the project it is possible contact our experts.

For interventions on industrial flooring, finished surfaces, structural openings and areas subject to transit, the CPR GIUNTI technical support allows each project to be approached with a specific assessment and with products consistent with the real needs of the construction site.
