High-Performance Anti-Seismic Expansion Joints for Major UK Airport

High-Performance Anti-Seismic Expansion Joints for Major UK Airport

This time we have designed and manufactured highly specialized anti-seismic expansion joints for a major airport in the United Kingdom.

Main Features of the Supplied Expansion Joints:

  • Type: MACOGA Double Gimbal Expansion Joints with Externally Pressurized Intermediate Bellows (MFCD+MEP).
  • Design: Equipped with floating flanges to ensure ease of installation.
  • Material: All components in contact with the medium are made of high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.

What Makes These Expansion Joints Exceptional?

  • Double Gimbal Expansion Joints:

Designed to absorb lateral and angular movements in multiple planes, these joints feature two gimbal rings that ensure flexibility while reducing stress on the piping system. Ideal for compensating for thermal expansion, seismic activity, or structural shifts, they offer unmatched reliability in complex pipeline layouts.

  • Externally Pressurized Expansion Joints:

Engineered to handle large axial movements with superior stability, these joints use an external pressurization system that prevents squirm and ensures optimal performance under high pressure and temperature conditions.

By integrating these advanced technologies, MACOGA delivers a robust solution that combines flexibility, durability, and safety—key factors for critical infrastructure like airports.

At MACOGA, we continue to lead the way in innovative and customized solutions for complex engineering challenges worldwide.
