Butt-joints of element walls must be designed according to the guideline for watertight structures as a controlled crack cross-section. The Fradiflex^® element wall sealing system for joints and corners causes a controlled crack at the joints of the triple wall and reliably seals the element joint.

In addition to improvements to the design, modifications considerably facilitate the ordering process and on-site handling. The standardized product now consists of 2 standard length units and 5 standardized components.

When sealing the surface of bored concrete piles, a flat surface is required, which can be achieved with the installation of the Pecafil^® permanent formwork.

The waterproofing membrane must be able to withstand cleaning before the concrete is poured, which is an important factor in the selection process. Zemseal^® has been extensively tested for cleaning behaviour.

The sealing of the construction joint between floor slab and wall can be done for example with a metal water stop or with PVC waterbar. The simplest and safest solution is the one with coated metal water stop.

The use of the MAX FRANK controlled permanent formwork liner when concreting tunnel tubes enables an almost void-free, resistible concrete surface.
