Description
The unique RiveStop system in the UK waterproofing industry – a patented method for sealing tie-bolt holes in concrete walls that delivers massive time and cost savings compared to the alternative mortars in the market.
RiveStop prevents any possible leakage of water or moisture into the formwork void of concrete structures.
#1 Insert RiveStop into the riveting machine.
#2 Insert in the hole to be sealed
#3 Rivet until the rivet shank is cut
IMPORTANT It does not require specially trained or qualified operators.
How Does RiveStop Work?
The system is composed of three simple elements:
- RivePipe – A removable, reusable and recyclable formwork tube that protects tie bars within the concrete, and once removed leaves a clean, uniform tie hole.
- RiveOut – The manual extraction tool for easily removing RivePipe tubes from concrete walls in a matter of seconds.
- RiveStop – A patented rivet system that is quickly and easily installed, expanding to 50% of its original diameter to hermetically seal any tie-bolt holes left by the RivePipe.
Overall, RiveStop delivers savings of up to 90% in terms of both man hours and material costs compared other alternatives in the UK waterproofing market.
RivePipe – Protects tie bars during construction
RiveOut – Removes the RivePipe from the concrete
RiveStop – Seals the tie-bolt hole completely
Key Benefits
- Reliable – Avoid the risk of water and gas leaks compared to the conventional PVC tubes method
- Reusable – RivePipe units can be reused over and over, usually for a minimum of 20 times.
- Easy to Use – No training is required, and the system can be installed in any weather or temperature.
- Quick – Installation is 10-times faster than existing methods, as high as 360 to 500 RiveStop units per hour dependent on whether you are using the manual or electric rivet method.
- Adaptable – RivePipe units are available in different lengths dependent on wall thickness, and RiveStop units have variety of diameters, materials and finishes.
- Safe – The system is certified as a barrier against water pressure, sound pollution, fire, acidic or saline solutions, and radon.
- Durable – RiveStop adapts to the size and shape of the tie-bolt hole, ensuring a 100% watertight, permanent seal for the lifetime of the concrete.
