WATERSTOP BASIC USE

Embedded in concrete, across and/or alongthe joint, waterstops form a watertight

diaphragm that prevents the passage offluid through the joint.

SUGGESTED WATERSTOPDESIGN CHECKLISTu Determine structure typeu Verify chemical containmentrequirements (if any)u Verify hydrostatic head pressure

requirementsu Determine joint type and jointmovement requirementsu Verify joinery details of dissimilar ornon-symmetrical waterstop profiles(consider using one profile throughoutto simplify intersections)u Specify ribbed profile for best watersealing performanceu Specify type and size (by productnumber, if possible)u Specify factory fabrications of intersec-tions and heat welded field butt jointsu Specify method for securing waterstopin position (hog rings, grommets, etc.)

PVC WATERSTOPu The industry standardu Broadest design selectionu Formulated and compounded byGreenstreaku Manufactured by Greenstreak fromonly prime resins and all virginraw materialsu Great inherent elasticityu Resistant to many waterborne chemicalsu Heat weldableu Will not discolor concrete or produceelectrolytic actionu Suitable for above or below gradeapplications

Physical properties

All Greenstreak PVC waterstops are speciallyformulated and manufactured to meet orexceed the industrys standard specifications.

Note: Greenstreak conducts regular testingof materials. Refer to Suggested MasterSpecification for current values.

Independent laboratory tests are availablefor the following applicable standards:u

Corps of Engineers CRD-C572-74u Bureau of Reclamation C902u CH2M Hillu Montgomery Watson, Inc.u Various State Highway and/or PublicWorks Department StandardsInstallation aids for PVC waterstopsGreenstreak offers various features toeconomically assist and promote properinstallation of PVC waterstops. Waterstopsmust be securely positioned in the forms toprevent deflection or misalignment duringconcrete placement. This is achieved bytethering the outer flanges of the waterstopto the adjacent reinforcing steel.

The following features are offered toassist this method of installation:u Tie-Right - most PVC shapes are avail-

able with factory applied hog ringsu Punched Flanges - most ribbed shapesare available with punched flangesu Grommets - selected shapes are avail-able with brass grommetsPVC Waterstop fabrications

PVC waterstop splices, directional changesand intersections are critical components ofa quality installat ion. Specifications requir-ing factory made fabrications are stronglyrecommended. Greenstreak can providehomogeneous directional changes andintersections, leaving only the less difficultstraight splices to be welded in the field.

SBR AND NEOPRENERUBBER WATERSTOPS

Greenstreak offers SBR and Neoprenewaterstops for applications requiring thephysical properties of rubber. These water-stops are manufactured to meet the Corps ofEngineers and The Bureau of Reclamationsspecifications for rubber waterstops.

HYDROTITE

Hydrotite is a world renowned hydrophilicwaterstop. Composed of modified chloro-prene rubber, Hydrotite expands up to 8

times its original volume when exposedto water. This expansion creates aneffective compression seal within jointsof limited movement.

Hydrotite is used extensively in sealingconcrete construction and control joints,pipe penetrations, precast concretesegments, tunnel lining segments andfor repair of existing joints. Hydrotitefeatures include:u Volumetric expansion up to 8:1u Durable chloroprene rubber compositionu Delay coating to protect fresh concreteu Composite profiles; controls directionof expansionu Eliminates special form worku Installs quicklyu Easy to spliceLEAKMASTER

Leakmaster is a single componenthydrophilic urethane sealant/adhesive.Expansion ratio of 2:1 makes Leakmastera natural choice in sealing irregular jointsand penetrations; as well as an aid in theinstallation of Hydrotite profiles.

SWELLSTOPTMWATERSTOP

A flexible butyl rubber and swellableclay waterproofing compound that swells

upon contact with water to form a longlasting compression seal in non-movingconcrete joints.

Swellstop requires a 2" minimum clearcoverage from the face of the concrete.

Applicat ions include:u Foundation walls and slabsu Slabs-on-gradeu Precast wall panelsu Manholesu Pipe connectionsu Box culvertsu Utility and burial vaultsu Wet wellsu Portable water tanksLOCKSTOPTMWATERSTOPSimilar in appearance to Swellstop, butdifferent in nature. Lockstop is a single-component self-sealing mastic waterstopwhich prevents moisture from penetratingnon-moving concrete joints.Typical construction joint applicat ionsinclude:u Foundation walls and slabsu Slabs-on-gradeu Manholesu Pipe connectionsu Retaining wallsu Tunnelsu Culvertu Storage tanksNote: Swellstop and Lockstop are fornon-working joints only.

Contraction (Control) JointContraction joints are designed planes of weakness to control thelocation of cracks due to shrinkage of concrete.

Expansion (Isolation) JointExpansion joints separate or isolate abutting concrete structures(walls, slabs, footings columns) protecting them from compressive

stresses that may develop due to thermal expansion, settlement,creep, live load deflections, drying shrinkage or crush. Differentialmovement at these joints can be both lateral and transverse.

Construction JointConstruction joints are determined by interruptions in the place-ment of concrete.

TYPES OF CONCRETE JOINTS

WATERSTOPS FOR WORKING JOINTSWATERSTOPS FOR NON-WORKING JOINTS

Ribbed with Centerbulb The most versatile type ofwaterstop available. Thecenterbulb accommodateslateral, transverse andshear movement. Largercenterbulbs accommodatelarger movements.

Dumbbell with Centerbulb Accommodates lateral,transverse and shearmovements. Ribbedshapes provide bettersealing characteristics.

*Tear Web Accommodates largemovements. Upon jointmovement the tear webruptures allowing theU-bulb to deform withoutputting the material

in tension.

Ribbed Flat Construction or contractionjoints where little or nomovement is expected. Ribbedshapes provide a better sealthan dumbbell shapes.

Dumbbell Construction or contractionjoints where little or nomovement is expected.

Base Seal Ideal for slab-on-grade jointsor walls which will be back-filled. Easy to form.

*Labyrinth Primarily used in vertical jointswhere little or no differentialmovement is expected. Doesnot require split forming and

adds a key to the joint. Difficultto use in horizontal joints.

*Split Waterstop Available in ribbed with center-bulb and dumbbell shapes.Eliminates the need for splitform bulkhead.

Hydrotite Used in joints of limited move-ment, Hydrotite expands withwater contact to create a com-pression seal. Installs quickly.

Swellstop Used in precast and cast-in-place below grade applications.Swellstop is intended for non-moving joints only.

Lockstop Provides a watertight, masticbond to concrete surfaces innon-moving joints.

*Some directional changes or intersections may not be practical or possible with this style of waterstop. Consult Greenstreaks

Technical Service Department for the suitability of this style waterstop for your specific application.
