Speed Dowel is the pioneering slip dowel installation system that ensures proper dowel alignment for positive load transfer in slab-on-ground concrete joints. Speed Dowel provides a practical dowel alignment method for transferring loads across, and managing stresses within concrete slab-on-ground joints.
The Sika Greenstreak Speed Dowel system is a high-performance dowel alignment solution engineered for slab-on-ground joints. This model accommodates 3/4" smooth dowels or #5 rebar at a 24" length, delivering precise load transfer, stress reduction, and optimized joint performance. Manufactured with durable polypropylene, each sleeve measures 12" and eliminates the need for greasing or drilling, streamlining installation while meeting ACI guidelines. Ideal for commercial and industrial floors, this product is field-proven to increase joint durability and reduce long-term maintenance by minimizing deflections under heavy loads.
