Drybox System
SUPERSHIELD DRYBOX is a system designed for a complete and effective waterproofing of foundations, basins and hydraulic constructions in general.
Supershield DRYBOX SYSTEM consists in:
- protecting and waterproofing the mass of the concrete by adding the liquid additive ADMIXPLUS (link), part of the LCT liquid product range (link), in the ready-mix plant;
- treating the waterproofing of rigid joints, movement joints and casting joints with Supershield’s specifically designed products
- to obtain a complete and durable waterproofing of the structure.
Advantages of Supershield Drybox waterproofing system
Simple and effective, it does not modifies construction practice.
- it does not require changes to the structural design nor to the characteristics of the concrete mix
- in the ready mix plant, admixplus is automatically integrated in the concrete mix using common dosing devices, becoming part of the concrete production cycle
- at the end of thec ycle, the exact quantity of the product used in the load will be shown on the final report
- it can be implemented by the same construction company that runs the project
- ecological and safe, it is suitable for contact with drinking water and allows to obtain LEED points
- convenient, and reduces construction time compared to other systems
- applied under the assistance and supervision of Supershield technicians, it allows the release of a 10 year guarantee.
