Ekspan is the UK's largest quality bearing supplier and installer to meet demands both in the UK and worldwide.

Ekspan supply an extensive range of mechanical and elastomeric expansion joints and seal joints, where the majority have Highways England SA-1 accredited approval.

Bridge jacking and temporary works are an essential part of most bearing replacement and refurbishment operations, ensuring works are carried out safely and efficiently without affecting the integrity of the structure.

The importance of carrying out bearing and expansion joint inspections by proficient and competent engineers who understand their functionality can often be key to maximising a structure’s lifespan and avoiding major, unexpected, emergency repair costs.
