Coated metal water stops have been established to be simple and secure solutions in sealing construction cold joints. After decades of use, these waterstops have proven themselves to be effective, durable and highly reliable. However, in the event of unanticipated joint movement, late shrinkage or ground movement, the primary seal can become compromised and crack injection may be necessary to seal the joint.
