mageba TENSA-MODULAR expansion joints with movement capacity of 480 mm were chosen due to the elastic control system to comprehend all possible forces and movements in 3 axis, which occur on the Gimpo Bridge. It ensures kinematic behavior and prevents damage from constraint forces.

Installed modular expansion joints at Gimpo Bridge are in best condition although already installed 16 years. mageba (Korea) Co., Ltd. applies frequent inspections and can confirm full functionality and excellent conditions of mageba’s modular expansion joints even after 16 years of heavy traffic.
