Rubber Waterstops Applications
Rubber waterstops are recommended for sealing high movement expansion
joints. They are particularly recommended for sealing joints subject
to high water pressures in such structure as irrigation canals,
culverts, reservoir, sea walls and sewage works.
Example of sealed expansion joint in floor stabs of water retaining
structure is shown below:
Example of sealed expansion joints in walls of water retaining structure
is shown below:
