Excellent work by Marvin, Richard, Cade, and the Sletten Construction Company team on another successful Wabo® Modular Expansion Joint installation!

Installed on the Sutton Creek Bridge as part of bridge improvements along MT-37 near Lake Koocanusa, this project required our BET-900 system, built to accommodate 9 inches of thermal movement. This was essential with temps swinging over 30°F from morning to afternoon.

This marks the completion of Stage 1, with Stage 2 on track in the coming week.

Watson Bowman Acme is proud to be part of the Sika Infrastructure group, alongside trusted brands like Kwik Bond Polymers and King, delivering high-performance solutions for today’s critical infrastructure.
