Metal Construction Joint Water Bar
Newton 301 AquaProof is a coated metal water bar system used for the sealing of construction joints within retained concrete structures.
Newton 301 AquaProof features an adhesive, reactive polymer coating on one of its sides. The coating creates a permanent watertight seal with the surrounding concrete to create a water bar that works immediately.
Installation is quick and easy with the water bar fitted in place to the reinforcement steel with special clips so that after the placement of the concrete, the water bar is fully embedded within the two adjoining elements, completely blocking the passage of water through the joint. Because Newton 301 AquaProof is not fixed to one of the concrete elements as is the case with conventional water bars, the forming of a kicker upstand is not necessary. Newton 301 AquaProof metal water bar is certified to resist water pressure of up to 7 bar (70m), and is resistant to all types of naturally occuring ground water types.
Typical Applications
The waterproofing of construction joints to poured concrete elements of earth retained structures.
The following construction joints can be waterproofed with Newton 301 AquaProof:
- Raft – Raft
- Raft – Wall
- Wall – Wall
- Wall – Deck
- Slab – Slab
- Slab – Wall
Key Benefits
- Immediate protection against water pressure – does not need to swell to be effective as is the case with hydrophilic water bars.
- Extremely high bond between the polymer coating and the surrounding concrete ensuring that water cannot pass even where the concrete has slightly shrunk during curing.
- No kicker or rebate required, reducing site labour costs.
- 100% waterproof up to 7 bar of water pressure.
- Preformed corner parts for quick site installation.
- More durable than conventional water bars – not easily damaged or moved by the placing or compacting of concrete.
- Can be installed in any weather and at any temperature.
Suitable Substrate
Static construction joints in poured concrete retained structures.
