Whether for force transmission, sealing or special component geometries – there is a great deal of variation in the execution of expansion joints. For that reason, the manufacture of this formwork on the building site is often complex, unreliable and time-consuming.
Impact sound insulation in stairwells is extremely important for living comfort. Coordinating planning, product and installation is important for prefabricated landings.
Stremaform® stay-in-place formwork for working joints make it possible to create curved or inclined concrete components without requiring elaborate special formwork. They allow visual inspection during concreting and save time on the construction site.
Tracks for trams are subject to lower loads in comparison with railway tracks. Therefore strip foundations are generally adequate, even on sandy ground.
Underground concrete structures are exposed to high dynamic loads and therefore require a load-relieving layer. The Egcovoid® void former creates this decoupling and reliably protects the structural elements.
The transmission of vibrations emanated by rail vehicles is reduced by fixed tracks on floating bearings. The Egcodorn® DND shear force dowel is recommended for the coupling of the dynamically stressed joints.
Coated metal waterstop systems are frequently used in practice for sealing construction joints and predetermined crack joints in watertight concrete structures.
Pecafil® is a lightweight, versatile formwork material that can be installed quickly without the need for a crane. Prefabricated angles allow for easy formwork setup, saving time and costs.
Expansion joints in concrete structures are complex from design through execution, especially when shear force transmission and waterproofing are required.
