Supercast TP Waterstop

FEBRUARY 25, 2013 MEGA TEC LEAVE A COMMENT

Centrally placed PVC waterstops

Uses

The Supercast TP range of PVC waterstop are recommended for sealing joints in in-situ
concrete construction. They are specifically recommended for sealing joint subject to high water pressure.

The Supercast TP range of waterstop, with incorporation of eyeleted anchorage point, are suitable for
construction and contraction joints.

They are used typically in the following types of structures:

Basements and subways

Reservoirs and swimming pools
Tunnels
Water retaining structures
Water excluding structures

Advantages

Simple on site jointing

Economical design profile
Compatible with other range of Supercast Waterstop

Description

Supercast TP waterstop are extruded a high grade PVC compound which has been formulated to give
excellent flexibility and longevity characteristic.

They are available as straight lengths and factory produced intersections or as factory prefabricated segment of a
network to minimize site jointing.

Selection of waterstop size

The appropriate waterstop width depends upon the

concrete thickness, the aggregate size and the position ofthe reinforcement.

Supercast TP sections

Supercast TP W200
Supercast TP W250

Supercast TP are compatible to other Supercast range of

waterstop. The design profile enables the jointing between the two Supercast waterstop through the use of factory made
intersections.

Properties

Installation instruction

Waterstop must be installed so that they are securely held in their correct position while the concrete is being
placed. Concrete must be fully compacted around the waterstop to ensure no voids or porous areas remain.

Where reinforcement is present, an adequate clearance must be left to permit proper compaction.

The brass eyelets used for securing the waterstop are located outside the edge bulbs so as not to create water paths
around the profile.

Site jointing instructions

Jointing of Supercast TP waterstop is carried out using Fosroc Heat Welding Equipment. The ends to be joined are cut
square and held in alignment in a special heated blade, until an even, molten bead of PVC appears around the section.
The heated blade is then removed and the molten ends pressed fully together. The PVC cools to form a strong fusion
welded joint.
An experienced technician can perform the jointing of the waterstop without using the jig, subject to prior training
and approval by Fosroc Technical Department.

Estimating

Equipment

Electric heater blades are available from Fosroc (110v and 220v and 350W)

Precautions

Hot weld jointing of PVC waterstop results in the liberation of hydrogen chloride mist and vapour. The OEL
(operational exposure limit) of 5 ppm can be exceeded in still air confined spaces. Therefore ventilation must be
provided or a suitable respirators used.
