Post-doweling

Post-dowelling is for concrete pavements subject to high traffic or localized loads. It extends the life of a concrete pavement by improving load transfer at the joints, and eliminating slabs’ beating under traffic.

When slab beating is already very pronounced, post-dowelling combined with the hydraulic mortar injection’ technic intended to fill the voids under slabs, makes it possible to solve the problem without having to resort to demolition or replacement.

Post-doweling can be done routinely by inserting metal studs, crossing the crack at the level of the neutral fiber of the slab.
