Waterproofing repair wedge PO-3 for movable joints, roll 20 m.p.

The PO-3 waterstop is designed and used to seal and prevent water penetration into moving joints in monolithic construction.

It is used on a variety of objects: from foundations to subway tunnels.

It is mounted directly into the body of the reinforcing cage before pouring the concrete mortar. The hydraulic wedge has been widely used in hydraulic structures, such as dams, weirs, reservoirs, canals, locks, water intake structures and hydroelectric power plants, as well as for sealing joints in foundations, tunnels, multi-storey car parks and other underground structures.

The PO-3 series of waterstops have a U-shaped shape, which makes it possible to precisely install the waterstops in the desired position. The ribs on the locking plane prevent moisture from penetrating into the structure. The PO series of waterstops are repair waterstops, single-sided , which are used for waterproofing expansion joints when combined with existing concrete structures.
 

Main advantages:
• ensures reliable embedment in concrete structure.
• ribbed surface guarantees tightness, preventing moisture from penetrating.
• deformation zones allow the hydraulic wedge to compensate for movements of reinforced concrete structures without losing tightness.
• used to seal joints between two concrete structures.
• in critical structures, the possibility of additional use of an internal hydraulic key is provided.
• meets high requirements for structural tightness.
