Newton Hydrotank Injection Hose Waterbar

Construction Joint Resin Injection Hose Waterbar

A high performance waterbar system installed within and used for sealing construction joints in earth-retaining and water-retaining concrete structures. When injected with injection resin, the material penetrates into the concrete surrounding the construction joint to permanently seal any cracks, capillaries, pores and honeycombing within the structure.

HydroTank 302 Injection Hose features micro-ports equally spaced over the entire circumference of the hose, and when injected with injection resin at 1-bar of pressure or above the microscopic ports open and the low-viscosity resin penetrates deeply into the concrete surrounding the construction joint.

The injection hose is compatible with both polyurethane and acrylic injection resins, and when installed and injected correctly HydroTank 302 Injection Hose improves the water tightness of the ‘Type B’ waterproof structure by sealing the joints and encouraging improvements in the quality of the concrete placement.

Key Benefits

• Resistant to permanent water pressure of 2 bar.
• Can be used with both polyurethane and acrylic resins, such as Newton 322-SP and Newton 323-SA.
• Hose is not displaced or damaged by the concrete compaction process.
• No kicker or rebate required, reducing site labour costs.
• The injection hose is unaffected by weather exposure and site works resulting from project delays.
• Guaranteed continual flow of the injection material due to the star-shaped interior geometry, even if the hose follows sharp bends.
• Quicker to install than conventional waterbars.
• Seals the whole of the joint, not just the few millimetres around the joint and so prevents the water entering the joint and reaching the reinforcement steel.
• Resistant to sewage, chlorine and sulphides.
• Integrity is maintained throughout the building life and is not effected by continuous wet/dry cycles.
• Can be used with or without a kicker.
• Will not ‘free-swell’ into voids and be washed away as is the case with bentonite based waterbars.

Typical Applications

• Concrete walls supported from a raft – with or without a kicker.
• Within concrete walls.
• Within concrete rafts or slabs.
• Concrete slab to concrete or steel piled wall.
• Concrete slab to brick/block wall.

Suitable Substrates

• Reinforced concrete.
• Steel piled walls (welded flange required).
• Brick or concrete block walls.
