Description
‘Supercast watarstops are exirucad rom a high grade PVC
‘compound which has been formulated to give excellent flexibly
‘and longevity characteristics. Thay are avatablo as straight

Principles of waterstop function
‘Supercast waterstops work because of lwo specie aspects of
thoir design,
a} Valve principio
‘Simple watersiop profles based on dumbelis are cast inio the
‘edges of adjacent concrete panels which act as baffles. nthe
event of oils opening as dying shrinkage or other movernent
‘occurs, the edge bulbs of the profile act as anchors, These

Design criteria
“The choice of the width and thickness of walerstep is
largely governed by concrale thickness, the position ofthe
reinforcement, agoregate size and complexiy of he pour.
In general the 260 mm width of waterston is suited to wall
Iicknesses of 250 mm and over. For concrete less than 250
mm thick, the Use of a narrewer wateretop approximating to
the wall thickness will be appropriate,

Centrally placed waterstop
‘Those watersions are positioned within the thickness of the
‘concrete components and asa result are supparted by concrete
con both sides. They are therefore able to withstand water
pressure fiom either side. This makes them suitable for use in,
water telaning structures. They will prevent loss of water
from within the tank and will prevent ingress of ground water
when the tank is drained down,
Externally placed waterstop
‘These waterstops are designed foruse in basement. foundaton

Installation instructions
Supercast Hydrofoil and Watafoil
\Waterstope must be installed so that they are securely held in
{heircortect postion while the concreteis beina placed. Concrete
must be fully compacted around the weterstops to ensure thet
no voids or porous areas remain. Where reinforcement is
present, an adequate clearance must be eft to permit proper
compaction,

‘When used on ground slabs whore the waterslop is supported,

Fing to vemicel shuttering is done by naling through the outer,
nailing flanges leaving the head of the nail proud s0 thatitis

Jointing of Supercast waterstops is carrid out using Fosrac
Heat Welding Equlament. The ends toe Joined are cut square
‘anh in alignment in a speciel jg. The ends are then pressed
either side of a special heated blade, unl an even, molten
bead of PVC appears around the section, The heated blade 's
then removed and the moiten ends pressed fully together. The
PVG cools to ferm a strong fusion welded join, Ful instuctions
