• Waterproof joints in zone 1 (max ~35 m) will be ensured through the installation of water-bar system• Interlocking between the DW panels is achieved due to the shape of the stop-end element form
• No possibility for over cutting in zone 2 • No interlocking of adjacent DW panels• The joints in zone 2 will not be waterproof w/o addtl. measures• Waterproofing may be achieved by means of "Tube a Manchette" Injection behind the joint
Execution of Water-Stop System Joints in combination with Cutter excavated DW trench
• Loosening of the End-stop beam after completion of the whole DW secondary panel excavation and regeneration of the slurry
• Loosening of the beam by means of Vibrating unit and/or chiseling
