Description
Metal/Steel waterstopper is a rigid strip made from galvanized or stainless steel, designed to be embedded in concrete joints to prevent water seepage. It provides long-lasting waterproofing protection in critical structures where durability and resistance to high water pressure are required. Available in various profiles and thicknesses, steel waterstoppers also contribute to structural stability.
Advantages
-
Excellent resistance to hydrostatic water pressure
-
High durability and long service life compared to PVC or rubber waterstops
-
Provides both waterproofing and structural reinforcement
-
Suitable for use in aggressive soil and water conditions
-
Non-deformable and maintains efficiency under temperature variations
-
Available in different grades (galvanized, stainless steel) for specific project needs
Areas of Application
-
Basements and foundations
-
Retaining walls and tunnels
-
Dams, canals, and water reservoirs
-
Sewage and treatment plants
-
Water tanks and swimming pools
-
Expansion and construction joints in concrete structures
