Granor joints go in on Peninsula Link

The Peninsula Link project is a 27 kilometre road link under construction in South East Melbourne. The $759 million project includes 35 bridges with Granor supplying all of the bridge deck expansion joints.

The first of the joints are now going in, including Granor Etic® EJ110 aluminium saw-tooth expansion joints recently installed into the Robinsons Road Bridge. In total Granor will be supplying approx 400 metres of expansion joints, including more aluminium saw-tooth, steel finger joints, as well as Granor “AC-AR” aluminium strip seal joints.
