PVC Waterstop for Foundation, ready to cast concrete
Greenstreak PVC (Polyvinylchloride) Waterstops are the benchmark for the industry and exceed standard specifications. The versatility of PVC has made these waterstops popular with specifiers and engineers. Outstanding physical properties, excellent inherent elasticity and resistance to many waterborne chemicals has made it the most widely specified waterstop material. PVC waterstops are available in several styles and sizes. Choosing the correct waterstop begins with determining whether the joint is moving or non-moving. Typical Applications For PVC Waterstops Include: Water and waste water treatment facilities Dams, lock, canals, water reservoirs and aqueducts Tunnels and culverts Foundations Primary and secondary containment structure - See more at: # Virtually every concrete containment structure requiring a PVC waterstop is going to encounter a joint that will change direction or intersect with another joint. The lack of proper tools, equipment, and welding experience on a jobsite generally limits a contractor’s ability to perform these difficult waterstop fabrications in the field. When problems arise on jobsites with waterstop installation, it is typically related to poor quality of waterstop directional changes (see pictures below). This is why Sika suggests, and most engineers choose to specify the use of factory-fabricated waterstop intersections produced by the waterstop manufacturer. Not only do factory-fabricated intersections promote high-quality waterstop installation procedures, but they are further provided at a cost that is undoubtedly lower than the cost to fabricate the intersection on the jobsite. To further encourage the use of factory-fabricated waterstop intersections, Sika has significantly increased the inventory of most popular Greenstreak PVC waterstop profiles, i
