Case Studies and Applied Products
TENSA®FINGER RSFD – Cantilever finger joints
The RSFD Cantilever Finger Joint consists of massive steel edge profiles with finger plates that are connected to the lower construction on either side of the bridge gap.

TENSA®FLEX RC – Sliding Finger joints
The Tensa®Flex slip finger can assimilate both horizontal and vertical movements and torsions. Modular structure makes possible the replacement of the system with minimum traffic interferences.
