During production of cast in situ concrete diaphragm walls, the most important factor, especially to achieve a watertight joint, will be the use of the right stop-end elements.
The stop-end elements contain the concrete on the lateral side meanwhile they create a particular casting profile that offers a high seal against water infiltrations.
Stop End Elements are coupled together through special steel shafts even better special o-rings, which ensure a perfect seal among the areas of the diaphragm.
Stop End Element is made of sheet metal welded and its special profile is achieved by a process of press bending and finally an internal reinforcing structure increases its strength and avoids the risk of deformation.
