Concrete Joint Spalling

Concrete highway pavements are under increasing strain from ever-rising traffic volumes—driven by the growing demands of public transport and freight logistics. These heavily trafficked surfaces are essential, but maintaining them to a high standard is becoming more difficult.

The Problem

Concrete pavements often begin to deteriorate at their weakest points—corners and poorly maintained joints. If spalling and joint degradation are left untreated, they can lead to:

• Structural damage to the pavement
• Hazards to vehicles and road users
• Rapid water ingress and freeze–thaw deterioration
• Expensive emergency closures and reactive repairs

In many cases, standard concrete repair methods are rigid, time-consuming, and costly—and often fail to address the root cause of the issue: movement.

The Rhino Solution: Flexible Concrete Repairs

Rhino offers a high-performance, flexible concrete repair system engineered for both speed and durability. Unlike traditional rigid patches, our repair solution:

• Uses a proprietary blend of resins, polymers, fibres, and selected aggregates
• Is typically installed at 40mm depth, but can be applied deeper where required
• Eliminates the need to re-form joints—even when repairs span jointed bays
• Remains flexible under all conditions, including freeze–thaw cycles
• Withstands continuous heavy traffic without deformation or cracking

• Fast installation—minimising lane closures and disruption
• Long-lasting performance in harsh highway environments
• Reduces future maintenance needs
• Accommodates movement, unlike rigid repairs

A proven, flexible solution to joint spalling—offering safer, faster, and more resilient results for busy concrete highways.
