Crack Inducing Waterstop

Crack Inducing Waterstop

Specially profiled internal PVC waterstop strip designed to induce controlled cracking in long concrete walls while simultaneously sealing the joint against water ingress.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Controlled joint formation:Induces stress relief cracks exactly along the sealed waterstop line
  • Eliminates costly formwork:Avoids complex bulkhead formwork on continuous wall pours
  • High tensile PVC:Flexible compound absorbs structural expansion without tearing
  • Continuous water barrier:Multi ribbed profile creates an extended tortuous water path

Recommended Areas of Application

Ideal structural locations and substrates

Long continuous concrete basement retaining walls
Reservoir walls and flood defense barriers
Tunnels and subterranean cut and cover boxes
Sewage and effluent containment channels
Multi bay podium retaining structures
