What Are Tie-Bolt Hole Sealing Products?
Tie-bolt hole sealing products are a category of waterproofing materials specifically designed to seal tie-bolt holes left behind after concrete formwork removal. These holes, typically found in concrete structures such as walls, columns, and slabs, are created during the casting process to secure the formwork in place. Once the concrete has cured and the formwork is removed, these holes remain and can potentially serve as pathways for water ingress, compromising the integrity of the structure and leading to issues such as water leakage, corrosion of reinforcement, and deterioration of concrete.
One example of a tie-bolt hole system is the patented RiveStop system, which offers a mechanical solution for effectively sealing tie-bolt holes.
RiveStop Tie-Bolt Seals
The RiveStop system is a patented tie-bolt hole sealing solution that utilises mechanical components to seal tie-bolt holes effectively. The system consists of specialised plastic or metal plugs designed to fit securely into tie-bolt holes, creating a watertight seal. The components are installed using simple hand tools, making installation fast and straightforward.
Applications and Benefits of Tie-Bolt Hole Sealing Products
Products for sealing tie-bolt holes, including the RiveStop system, are commonly used in various construction applications where tie-bolt holes need to be sealed to prevent water ingress and ensure the structural integrity of concrete elements. Typical applications include in concrete Walls, Columns, Slabs, Bridge decks, Retaining walls, Tunnels, and Foundations.
The benefits of utilising an effective sealing system are numerous, including:
Effective Water Protection: Tie-bolt sealing products provide effective waterproofing protection, preventing water ingress through tie-bolt holes and safeguarding the structure against water-related damage.
Simple Installation: The RiveStop system and similar products offer simple and quick installation, saving time and labor costs during construction and ensuring efficient sealing of tie-bolt holes.
Long-Term Durability: These products are designed for long-term durability, with materials and construction methods that withstand exposure to environmental elements and maintain their sealing properties over time.
Compatibility: Tie-bolt sealing products are compatible with various concrete substrates and construction materials, ensuring versatility and adaptability to different project requirements.
