Our organization is engaged in offering different types of
Expansion Construction Joints such as kicker type, dumb- bell type, ribbed type and replaceable type. Our range is available in range of 100 mm width to 400mm width. The Expansion Construction Joint is essential component in RCC hydraulic structures and can be used in expansion and contraction joints, construction joints, for the crumple sections (to with stand Seismic forces) and for settlement joints.
The various types of Expansion Construction Joints include:
Kicker TypeThese are externally placed type of PVC waterstop that are used where embedded types can not be used because of the interference of steel reinforcement.
Dumb-Bell TypeIn Dumb-Bell Type the PVC waterstop is provided with solid circular bulb either side. These are used where large movement due to expansion and contraction is expected. Further, these are also used for settlement joints and crumple sections.
Ribbed TypeThe Ribbed type is multipurpose and the general type of PVC waterstop has ribs on surface that ensure water tightness. These are used for expansion, contraction and construction joints.
Replaceable TypeThese are specially developed design PVC waterstop by Ganga Modernisation Authority Roorkee (U.P.) that find application in various industries.
