Moisture Preventive Systems
The shrinkage of curing concrete creates small cracks and voids through which salt water can penetrate construction and cold joints. Preventative materials and tools can be installed to tackle the weak points of the structure.
As approved applicators for Detec, leading manufacturers of electrical leak detection, we use electric testing to pinpoint breaches in roofing or waterproofing assemblies. Breaches are found by detecting a water path through the waterproofing system.
Additionally, we coordinate with De Neef Conchem in Belgium, for swellable water stops, injection hose, and resin systems installed mainly in construction joints of building basements.
PVC Waterbars
Waterbars are flexible waterstops based on plasticized PVC, produced in specific profiles to seal construction and expansion joints when cast in concrete. They are available in a range of different sizes and types according to their use.
Swellable Bars
A hydrophilic strip made of natural sodium bentonite clay and synthetic rubber that is specifically manufactured for salt or brackish water interference. The swelling properties are found within the clay structure and can swell up to approximately 2.5 V when in contact with salt water and in confined conditions.
Electric Testing
Electric scanning is a low voltage quality control test that pinpoints breaches in roofing or waterproofing assemblies. Breaches are found by detecting a water path to building ground. This testing method complies with ASTM Standard Practice D8231-19.
Swellable Sealant
Caulk applied one-component, hydro swelling mastic for sealing smooth, rough construction joints, and pipe penetrations. It is also easily applied on irregular shapes.
Expansion Joint Treatment
In coordination with our manufactures we design and install expansion joints that can exceed 15cm width under high hydrostatic pressure.
Injection Hose
A preventative injection tube that is installed for the permanent sealing of cold and construction joints in concrete, pipe penetrations, wall/slab voids and areas where new and old concrete join. When water infiltrates into the joint, injection resin is injected through the PVC end pieces, which protrude out of the concrete at easily accessible places.
