A method for assembling an expansion joint (100) includes providing a fir st seal retainer (120), positioning an annular first seal (142) at least partially within the first seal retainer such that the first seal extends between the first seal retainer first and second ends (144, 145) and substantially fills the first seal retainer cavit y (140), providing a second seal retainer (122), positioning an annular second seal (143) at least partially within the second seal retainer such that the second seal extends between the second seal retainer first and second ends (146, 147) and substantially fills the second seal retainer cavity (141), coupling a bellows (174) to the first and second seal retainers, and slidably coupling a unitary annular shroud (180) the first and second seal retainers such that the shroud substantially circumscribes t he first and second seal retainers, and such that the bellows is operable in conjunction with the annular shroud and the first and second seal retainers.
