Ribbed with Tear Web Shapes
will accommodate differential or significant
movement in expansion joints. The Tear
Web is uniquely designed to detach at a
strategic point, allowing the U-shaped bulb
to deform as needed without stressing the
waterstop material.

RET638 is designed for retro-fit applications where
new concrete meets an existing structure. The
waterstop is mechanically fastened to the existing
structure with batten bars, anchor bolts and an
epoxy gel leaving the extended leg to be
embedded in new concrete.
W12 is offered to meet the design requirements of
Caltrans for bridge deck joints
V5316 is offered to meet the design requirements
of MASS Highway for 5” waterstops
Base Seal Shapes are highly suited to
slabs-on-grade and some below grade wall
joints. Base Seal Shapes are easy to install.
