Expansion Joints for Springfield Mater Hospital

At Unison Joints, we believe the best outcomes come from close collaboration—and our work on the new Springfield Mater Hospital is a perfect example.

Partnering with JHG (John Holland Group) and Peddle Thorpe Architects, our team worked hand-in-hand to refine seismic coverplate systems for floors, internal walls, ceilings, and roofs. The goal was simple but critical: deliver expansion joint solutions that are seamless, fire-safe, water-resistant, and engineered to handle seismic movement.

Our collaborative approach meant every design decision was discussed, tested, and tailored to the hospital’s unique needs. Products supplied included:

  • PyroTX I and PyroTX B seismic fireseals for maximum fire protection
  • Unison Aquo H Hypalon glands and adhesives to secure water and movement sealing
  • SiR seismic roof expansion joint covers, specifically designed for roof movement

Installation was executed flawlessly thanks to our trusted partners: Master Floors Group handled floor expansion joints, fireseals, and waterseals, while Wadsworth Contracting installed internal wall and ceiling systems.

This project wasn’t just about supplying products—it was about collaborating across disciplines to ensure the building performs safely, looks seamless, and meets the highest standards. At Unison, we see ourselves as part of the wider team, working together to solve challenges and create buildings that stand the test of time.
