Steel Edge Nosing Data Sheet
HD Steel Edge Nosing
Heavy-duty joint edge protection and integrated load transfer in a single assembly
High-traffic industrial floors and pavements require precise load transfer, smooth slab-to-slab transition and joint protection. All of these requirements are met with the HD Steel Edge Nosing assembly.
A complete assembly includes the steel nosing, studs, dowel plates and full-depth channel for joint installations. The leave-in-place design eliminates conventional slab edge forming costs.
The nosing prevents joint spalling and reduces repair costs in high-traffic areas, like warehouses and loading docks. Concrete expansion and contraction takes place as the steel plate slides within the sleeve.
The installation conforms to ACI 302.1R Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab Construction and ACI 360 Design of Slabs-on-Ground.
For high performance extended joint slabs
that open more than 3/8” such as cold storage facilities, consult with SureBuilt or concrete slab engineer for solution before ordering.

HD Steel Edge Nosing – Straight Line Installation
1. Check sub-grade for levelness and grade. Set string line along the edge nosing path and position the first length of HD Steel Edge Nosing. Ensure the plastic sleeves go on the side where the first concrete pour will occur.
2. Insert stakes through the welded clips attached to the HD Steel Edge Nosing separation plate. Hammer the stakes into ground until they are 2 inches below the top of the joint. Additional staking and bracing may be required to keep sections steady during the concrete pour.
3. Adjust the height of the joint until it is level and at the required slab depth. Turn the stakes 90 degrees using a shifter to lock the joint in place.
4. The HD Steel Edge Nosing length has a lap joint at either end used to bolt the separate lengths together. Ensure a 1/8” gap is left between each length. This allows for the lateral movement of the joint. Repeat the process for each section until the desired length is achieved.
5. Install any required concrete reinforcing. Pour the concrete ensuring vibration along the joint at regular intervals. The top of the HD Steel Edge Nosing rails can be used to screed along.
6. After the first pour has set, remove any additional staking. Place the dowels through the separation plate slots into the sleeves in the first pour before pouring the second pour. Dowels should be placed within 36 hours of the first pour.
