All water bearing concrete structures with high end use re-

quirements or water retaining concrete structures depend

on reliable watertightness [1] [2]. In order to achieve the

desired performance level, special precautions have to be

undertaken throughout all project phases. The structure’s

design, construction methods and materials have to be

balanced with the ambient factors. The appropriate sealing

method will depend on a complex variety of factors includ-

ing water composition, type of structure, loading and bear-

ing conditions, soil compositions, climatic influences and

the intended use and longevity of the structure itself among

many other relevant aspects.

The Max Frank engineering team will assist you in all phas-

es and our product range will enable you to deliver a wa-

tertight concrete structure that will perform to the desired

level of service.

We do not take the “one-size-fits” all approach, but offer

a diversified product portfolio to deliver proven answers to

the majority of waterproofing challenges encountered in

modern concrete construction.

Construction and expansion joints are an unavoidable ne-

cessity in all concrete structures and they are normally fully

detailed in drawings and specifications. Concrete joints in

general are preferential leakage pathways and require spe-

cial attention. Specific methods and products are therefore

needed to ensure that a watertight seal is maintained.

All our products are tested and certified to the stringent re-

quirements of the German Building Directorate (DIBt).

Injection hose systems, metal water stops, strip applied

swellable and non-swellable waterstops or FRANK water-

bars can all be used individually as the primary joint seal. In

combination they can produce a fail-safe redundant sealing

system.

Since all concrete will crack, the outer surfaces of water

bearing structures should receive an envelope seal that will

bridge the occurring cracks reliably. With the bonded Zem-

seal® membrane, FRANK offers a tracking proof, fully ad-

hered surface protection. This bonded membrane system

ensures water and vapor proofing to all basement grades to

BS 8102:2009 and DAfStb “Waterproof concrete structures”.

Zemseal® provides adequately for radon, methane and car-

bon dioxide protection of your underground structure.

[1] BS 8102:2009, BS8007 (BS EN 1992-3), [2] EN1992/

DAfStb guidelines “waterproof concrete structures”

Reliable sealing of waterproof structures

Hydraulic head

… defines the water pressure that is acting on the external retaining wall sys-

tem. A distinction between positive (water bearing/resisting) and negative pres-

sure (water retaining) is made. Most commonly, underground external walls and

foundation base slabs are exposed to water pressure bearing on the structure.

Possible sources are inflow of surface water, ranging from percolation of rain to

inundation of water from burst water mains, high water or perched water table

or temporary and fluctuating head due to soil with low permeability. All our wa-

terstop products are tested by independent laboratories to withstand at least

50 m hydraulic head.

Redundant (secondary) sealing system

… adverse conditions may require the execution of a redundant sealing sys-

tem. It is recommended to consider this multi-barrier approach for high-end

use categories (BS 8102:2009 – Grade 3/DAfStb Waterproof concrete guide-

lines – use category A – A***) generally. The secondary seal will add an ad-

ditional level of safety and provides for a designed solution for unanticipated

defects in concrete workmanship or unplanned formation of cracks. The injec-

tion hose is most suitable to be used as a redundant seal in combination with

other types of waterstops and even offers the possibility of multiple injections.

Safe sealing options for construction cold joints

The available types of construction cold joint waterstops differ in various as-

pects, such as time of installation (pre-/post pour), required embedment depth,

type of attachment (kicker/kicker-less), allowable hydraulic head, and perfor-

mance under adverse climatic and unfavourable site conditions. We offer an-

swers for all commonly encountered waterproofing challenges, with our broad

range of available systems. Waterstops, for which there are no established

DIN- or Euro-Norm-standards, will have to be tested and certified by an ac-

credited testing institution in accordance with the German Building Directorate

(DIBt) directive. All our products have the General Building Test Certificate (abP)

and are clearly marked with the conformance seal (Ü-Zeichen).

Safe sealing options for control joints

Control joints with integrated seal will prevent random cracking and allow for

economical wall pour sections in high grade use applications. Thermal shrink-

age stresses during hydration are compensated and a defined crack is induced

and sealed against water ingress. Anticipated stresses need to be accounted

for when selecting the type of control joint seal and its spacing. Twin wall butt

joints are to be designed and carried out as control joints and require a seal.

Safe sealing options for expansion joints

Expansion joints require the use of plastic or rubber type waterbars. German

standards DIN 18145 (PVC-base) and DIN 7865 (Elastomeric/rubber-base)

govern and regulate material properties, geometry and nomenclature of the

available profile types. Unregulated plastic waterbars require a General Build-

ing Test Certificate (abP). The waterbars can be fully embedded (internal) in

the concrete section or installed externally. We offer a variety of customized

solutions for the proper installation of plastic waterbars within our Stremaform®

product line. Fradiflex® coated metal waterstops can be reliably tied into and

connected to plastic waterbars, using the joint connector assembly. Expansion

joint waterbars are also suitable to seal transitions to existing concrete, using

bolted flanges.

Safe sealing options for the building envelope

Water bearing concrete surfaces should be protected, using an external bar-

rier system (BS8102:2009, Type A). Bonded membranes have been proven to

be most effective and preferred over un-bonded surface applied systems and

liners. Zemseal® is the next generation pre-applied bonded membrane system.

The product combines adhesive bond with mechanical key to concrete. It ef-

fectively prevents water migration between the membrane and the substruc-

ture (tracking) and forms a permanent unit with the fresh concrete. Polypropyl-

ene (PP) based Zemseal® is extremely durable, features a high resistance to

chemical attack, bridges cracks up to two mils and can be heat welded.

Fradiflex® metal waterstop for in-situ concrete

Fradiflex® metal water stops are supplied with a special adhesive coating on

one or both surfaces with a two-part protective film which is removed individu-

ally prior to each pour. The coating forms an excellent bond with fresh concrete

to reliably seal construction joints. A range of purpose made accessories in-

cluding mounting clips and an expansion joint connector are available for easy

and rapid installation. Fradiflex® is a proven accepted alternative to traditional

plain metal water stops for sealing construction joints. WU guideline of the DAf-

Stb (guideline for watertight concrete structures) states that the standard di-

mensions of uncoated metal water stops should be a minimum thickness of

1.5 mm and a minimum height of 250 mm.

Fradiflex® metal water stops will perform above and beyond DAfStb guideline

for watertight concrete structures requirements.

■ Unmatched adhesion to fresh concrete

■ Tested to resist up to 50 metres hydraulic head

■ Supplied in 25 metre long rolls, which reduces the number of laps and thus

saving installation time while providing additional safety

■ Integrated fixing angles reduce overall installation time. Joints are formed by

simply overlapping sections by 100 mm andpressing against each other, no

welding required

■ Safe, simple and quick joint sealing of all types of construction joints

Fradiflex® controlled crack inducer

The Fradiflex® controlled crack inducer provides an uninterrupted seal between

wall sections and within bases/slabs. Additionally, elements for controlled crack

joints are used in the concreting of long wall sections.

Concrete cross sections with controlled cracks require sufficient weakening of

the concrete and of the reinforcement. The crack inducers ensure that cracks

produced will be homogeneous.

The use of controlled crack inducers in combination of Fradiflex® metal water-

stops sealing system, delivers an integral in accordance with current building

regulations.

■ Excellent inherent stability of the controlled crack inducer

■ Quick and simple installation, no welding required

■ Precise connection to the upper or lower end of the controlled crack

inducer

Fradiflex® controlled crack inducers for sealing in-situ concrete. Proven

utility for all grades of waterproofing and water table classifications.


Stremaflex® – stop-end formwork element with coated metal waterstop for in-situ construction

Stremaflex® is used as a stop-end formwork element. It consists of a

Stremaform® element, incorporating a coated metal water stop Fradiflex®.

Stremaflex® stop-ends are installed between the reinforcement layers and

fixed with tying wire. For large elements, additional fixing and stiffening is

recommended. Stremaflex® forms an excellent bond with fresh concrete

and the element offers a solution for sealing of construction joints exposed

to hydraulic head conditions. Stremaflex® has received approval for use in

any construction or crack control joints.

■ Double sealing security due to two sided coating

■ Simple fixing with no time-consuming site welding

■ Adjoining elements are overlapped and pressed together and are

extremely resistant to shear forces

■ In conformity with the guideline for watertight structures and BS

8102:2009

■ Approved for construction joints and controlled crack joints

■ Excellent bond with fresh concrete

■ Tested to resist up to 50 metres head of water




Stremaform® formwork element with waterbar cage

Metal waterstops or waterbar cages (prepared for in-situ fixing of a

FRANK waterbar) are welded in between Stremaform® elements in the

factory. These elements are suitable for all types of construction joints.

Upon request, Stremaform® elements with metal water stops are also

produced with factory-made stif fening (Stremaform® strong).

■ Can also be supplied with indented joints upon request

■ Installed Stremaform® formwork elements remain in the concrete, no

stripping and waste disposal

■ Shear forces resistance of these construction joints is identical to that

obtained for monolithic concrete (Test Report by IBMB of the TU of

Brunswick)

Waterbars for constructions joints

Internal waterbars for construction joints are completely embedded in the

concrete, whilst external waterbars are embedded in the rear face of the

concrete. Both ensure safe sealing of construction joints against hydraulic

pressure. In order to guarantee a reliable bond with in-situ concrete and to

avoid water infiltration into construction joints, waterbars to DIN 18541 must

be used.

Due to their excellent inherent stability, FRANK waterbars for construction

joints can be used separately or as inserts in special support cages made

from Stremaform®.

Material: waterbar for expansion joints

Also suited for use in waterbar cages in conformity with DIN 18541 and with

factory standard.

General test certificate: No. P-22-MPANRW-1798-2

Expansion joint connector

A special Fradiflex® expansion joint connection assembly enables the

transition of the metal waterstop to the FRANK waterbar. The unit consists

of a galvanized sheet with a special adhesive coating on one side. The unit

also includes a Cresco® expanding waterstop and a pressure plate with screw

fittings including wing nut to provide a simple and safe seal.

Twin wall construction panel joints are to be treated as

control joints (DAfStb guidelines “waterproof concrete

structures”, Clause 9.2(5)) and need to be carried out wa-

terproof. The crack inducing flanges of the Fradiflex® twin

wall joint seal ensure that the cracking will occur within the

panel joint.

The Fradiflex® coated metal waterstop is used to seal the

slab to wall joint and all vertical panel butt joints are sealed

with the Fradiflex® control joint crack inducer. In case of a

high water table above the ceiling level, Fradiflex® coated

metal waterstops can be used to seal the joint between

the wall top and the roof deck.

The Fradiflex® twin wall joint seal requires only two fix-

ing points (base/top) and can span the entire wall height

unsupported. This speeds up the installation time, since

there is no attachment to the outer shell necessary.

Fradiflex® twin wall – control joints

Vertical panel joints are effectively control joints. In order to induce a pre-

planned crack, Fradiflex® twin wall joint seal will cause the in-situ core concrete

to crack at the proper location. The integrated coated metal waterstop will seal

this pre-defined crack. Fradiflex® twin wall joint seals are tested to 50 m hy-

draulic head and a crack width of 2 mm.

Transitions from the horizontal Fradiflex® coated metal water stop in the base

slab are easily carried out by mating the lap surfaces and securing them with a

clamp strap.

Proprietary fixing angles (re-usable) are mounted at the top of each segment

and hold the joint seal in place during concrete placement.

There is no intermediate attachment required, since the Fradiflex® twin wall joint

seal will span unsupported over the entire wall height.

Your advantages:

■ Fast, two-fix-point installation

■ No continuous fastening to shell

■ Sturdy, self-supporting units

Fradiflex® twin wall controlled corner

The geometry of the base plate and the mounting bracket allow for a secure

seal member wall corners. The orientation of the shells is irrelevant.

Fradiflex® twin wall/head sealing

By combining both Fradiflex® metal water stop for the wall head and Fradiflex®

mounting clip for wall crown uninterrupted sealing is ensured for multitorey

buildings as well.

Intec® injection hose

Intec® injection hose systems consist of an injection hose, assorted accessories

and a full range of injection resins. Intec® can be used as a stand-alone seal or

as secondary sealing, in combination with metal, swellable waterstops or Max

FRANK waterbars to seal all construction joints.

The Intec® injection hose system has been in use for over 20 years and has

proved its value on many projects:

■ No additional sealing method is required with reduced construction

costs and shortened construction times

■ Does not clog with water or cement laitance during concreting hose

■ Absolutely secure and simple installation

■ Injection lengths 30 m up to segment

■ Quick sealing of all horizontal and vertical concrete construction joints

■ Can be used to seal small cavities

■ Approved for potable water applications

Intec® Combinations

Redundant sealing systems with injection hoses have be-

come the industry standard solution. The publication “High

end use of basements – building physics and indoor cli-

mate” of the German Concrete Association (DBV) considers

redundant sealing systems for buildings with premium use

requirements (grade 3 structures/use category A-A***) man-

datory. It is also recommended for applications, where the

resulting joint opening cannot be pre-determined, unknown

thermal- and shrinkage movement is suspected, or other

unforeseen displacement is likely to occur. Hence, prudent

design will call for redundant, independent and diversified

sealing systems (multi-barrier-approach).

The basic solution combines the Fradiflex® coated metal

waterstop as the primary cold joint seal with a top mounted

Intec® injection hose. It is advisable to place the hose op-

posite the water bearing side, as to prevent hose ends to

cross the primary barrier plane. Alternatively, the Cresco®

GR/BT swellable waterstops can be installed as second-

ary seals on either side of the primary metal waterstop. To

add fuel resistance to the sealing system, the use of Synko-

Flex® FR is recommended in combination with the injection

hose.



Intec® Premium injection hose – for multiple injections

Intec® Premium is the proven injection hose system for joint sealing. Its unique

and patented design features allow for multiple injections with polyurethane

(PUR) resins. The injection chamber can be emptied by effortless pressure

flushing; no additional equipment and vacuuming are required. The hose can

be installed in individual sections of up to 30 m.

Material: internal PVC-hose (PE available upon request) with integrated

micro valves and tightly woven polypropylene sheathing

Injection resins (multiple): polyurethane (PUR), epoxy (EP) and acrylic (AC)

General Test Certificate, TU Munich: No. P-51010a/05, certified for multiple

injections (PUR, EP, AC)

Intec® Standard injection hose

Intec® Standard is a reliable injection hose system for joint sealing, used for

single one-time only injection applications. The hose is equipped with a regular

pattern of slits along the full length to guarantee a safe and uninterrupted flow

of resin. Individual sections of up to 30 m are possible.

Intec® Cem N injection hose – multi-grout injections

Intec® Cem N injection use is used for grouting application where larger voids

need to filled and sealed. It allows for the injection of cement pastes and

slurries as well as for the injection all types of resins. Main applications include

underpinning and tunneling. Multiple injections with varying grouting materials

can be achieved with vacuum technology. Individual sections of up to 30 m

are possible.

tion and injection of the Intec® injection hoses.

■ Color coded shutter connector (blue/yellow)

■ Recessed access box

■ Mounting hardware for wet concrete, hardened concrete and precast

Resin Injection

Watertight sealing of construction cold joints can be accomplished by injection

of polyurethane (PUR) resins. Alternatively, acrylic resin (AC) can be used, but

it should be ascertained that this type of resin has been generally approved for

use in concrete joint, since the regulation thereof varies from country to country.

Epoxy resins (EP) can be used to structurally heal concrete cracks.

Cementitious grouts and slurries are injected to fill larger voids in the concrete

matrix.

The Intec® Premium hose utilizes patented pressure flushing technology to

allow for multiple injections of resins.

Grouting

Cement based slurries and grouts are used to fill and seal large voids and joint

spaces. Underpinning operations and difficult to place concreting conditions

tend to lead to flawed and vacuous concrete structures and require infilling.

With the use of the Intec® Cem N, a pre-planned filling of such voids can be

accomplished. The hose can also be used for general joint sealing and as re-

dundant waterstop in combination with elastomeric expansion joint profiles in

civil works construction.

The Intec® Cem N can be injected multiple times with different grouting materi-

als using vacuum technology.

Expanding waterstops are used for effective sealing of

construction joints, particularly for geometrically de-

manding joint patterns. The sealing effect is achieved

through the expansion of the waterstop upon water pen-

etration into the construction joint. Expanding waterstops

are used where new and hardened or old concrete are

joined and a construction joint sealing must be provided.

Expanding waterstops will prevent groundwater, pressur-

ised water, and soil humidity penetrating into the building.

Synko-Flex® is a unique non-expanding adhesive waterstop

that bonds to existing concrete surfaces and fuses with

fresh concrete during the curing process. It creates a per-

manent seal which is resistant to acids, alkalis, silage and

salt water. It can therefore be applied to existing concrete

and scabbled surfaces, around through-wall pipes and fit-

tings, in and around sewerage and silage environments, and

to protect reinforcement. Unlike hydrophilic expanding wa-

terstops, Synko-Flex® is unaffected by rain, snow, ground

water or water on-site. The watertight seal of Synko-Flex®

has a proven reliability of over 30 years on contracts world-

wide. With ease of application and excellent performance,

the Synko-Flex® range of products is the product of choice

for architects, engineers and contractors alike.

Synko-Flex® FR waterstop

Synko-Flex® FR Fuel resistant waterstop provides a water-

tight seal around cold joints in concrete structures exposed

to hydrocarbon liquids. Synko-Flex® FR Waterstop is a pre-

formed adhesive that may also be used to seal around con-

crete, steel, PVC or HDPE pipe penetrations through con-

crete walls or floor slabs.

Long term experience has demonstrated, that structurally inte-

gral watertight construction (BS 8102:2009 Type B/DAfStb “Wa-

terproof concrete”-controlled crack width design) alone cannot

reliably guarantee the desired level of service for structures with

high grade use requirements (BS8102:2009 Grade 3/DAfStb

use category A+). In order to comply with design parameters

and the requirements of sustained serviceability, a combined

approach between structurally integral protection and an addi-

tional barrier protection (BS8102:2009 Type A) is in order. Bon-

ded membranes have come to replace un-bonded membranes

and bituminous or cementitious coating systems. Zemseal® is

the next generation substructure waterproofing, combining

adhesive seal and mechanical bond in one product. The grid

structure will bond into the cement matrix, while the adhesive

will actively prevent any water tracking to occur. Zemseal® elimi-

nates the issues associated with conventional Type A solutions. 31

Zemseal® Premium

Zemseal® Premium is a highly durable, flexible waterproofing membrane. The

material consists of three thermically fused lamination layers. The functional side

(concrete) consists of a three-dimensional, diamond shaped polypropylene grid,

a sandwhich layer of a adhesive laced non-woven geotextile fabric and a che-

mically resistant polypropylene membrane on the waterbearing side. Zemseal®

is ideally suited for under slab application due to its excellent mechanical pro-

perties.

Zemseal® Standard

Zemseal® Premium is a durable, flexible waterproofing membrane. The material

consists of two thermically fused lamination layers. The functional side (con-

crete) consists of a layer of a adhesive laced non-woven geotextile fabric with

a dimpled surface top increase bonding properties and a chemically resistant

polypropylene membrane on the waterbearing side.

Major characteristics:

■ Enhanced dual bond technology (adhesion and mechanical bond in one)

■ Lasting, reliable thermo-welded product (lamination layers are thermically

fused)

■ Robust and malleable material (triple lamination)

■ Durable polypropylene membrane (withstands chemical attack)

■ Expedient installation (2 meter wide rolls, pre-formed details)

■ Highly efficient (minimal lapping required)

■ Engineering Services (waterproofing concepts, training, competent

support)

■ Climate independant installation (application range 0 °C – 50 °C)
