Waterproof walls available at Dincel Construction System
waterproofing solutions by Dincel-Wall
Dincel Construction System (DCS) eliminates the need for conventionally applied waterproofing membranes for basement walls and the need for cavity wall construction normally required for waterproofing purposes for façade walls above the ground floor level.
Dincel Construction System has the solution for waterproofing problems for all building walls including basement walls below permanent ground water level. Dincel Construction System is also a waterproof wall even for water tanks.
Dincel Construction System eliminates commonly known water intrusion problems by providing non-porous, joint and crack free walls with an impervious ready finished surface.
DCS offers permanent polymer encapsulation for concrete. In other words, Dincel Construction System is an integral part of the concrete wall with a flexible/non-brittle permanent membrane skin on both faces of the concrete wall.
Dincel-Wall eliminates the root causes of water problems which are porosity of walling material, leaking wall joints and wall cracks.
The waterproofing solutions offered by Dincel-Wall are as follows:
- Dincel-Polymer is already non-porous which will not allow water through the polymer itself. Therefore, the only possible ingress point for water is at the joints of each adjacent module. The polymer membrane of Dincel-Wall provides the perfect environment for the curing and hydration process of concrete. This results in denser concrete which is stronger, both in tension and compression.
- Dincel Construction System’s snap connection mechanism which occurs at each adjacent module consists of a very tight joint similar to sheet piling clutches which is further tensioned when modules are filled with concrete.
The users of DCS can satisfy themselves with the waterproofing effectiveness of Dincel-Wall joints by filling the empty forms with water instead of concrete. These tests immediately satisfy the prospective user for the waterproofing reliability of the system. - Dincel-Forms consist of in-built crack inducers at every 125mm centres which results in concrete having cracks of very small widths at each crack inducer. These very small crack widths of about 1 micron (at 40°C)
