New Tool For Slab Joints Reduces Concrete Cracking

Harvey Haynes, inventor of Trak Joints, says his new tool for ground slab joints makes installation easier, lowers the risk of random cracks, is cheaper than traditional methods and does not produce silica dust.

A California-based consultant with 52 years of experience in the concrete industry has invented a device that, he says, makes installing ground slab joints easier, cheaper and safer than using traditional saw cuts.

“The kind of work that I do as a concrete consultant has a lot to do with concrete cracking problems and concrete slab cracking problems,” says Harvey Haynes, inventor of Trak Joints. “Quite a few years ago, I realized there’s got to be an easier method, a better method of putting joints in concrete that’s going to be so much less expensive.
