Wadit

Description

WADIT® is a globally proven sheet pile interlock sealant that is proven in both tropical and arctic conditions.
WADlT® is made using natural, sustainable raw materials and can therefore be used in direct contact with drinking water in compliance with LGA/Nuremberg.
WAD|T® is non-toxic and contains no harmful substances.
WADlT®s composition is protected by patents.

Applications

• Temporary sheet pile wall constructions
• Permanent sheet pile wall constructions
• Building trenches in soil with a high ground water level
• Casting the sheet pile wall interlock to prevent the ingress of soil components and the seizing of the piles during the driving process that this involves
• Sheet pile wall constructions in soil types with ground water and a low content of fine particles (gravel-type soil) and with unsuitable particle size distribution
• Reduction of interlock friction
• Encapsulation of contaminated soil areas Larssen
• Dam renovation work
• Sealing river banks
• Delimltation of underground water masses in water protection areas

Benefits

WADlT® differs clearly and massively from similar products in five ways:

• Unique durable bond
  WADlT® creates a secure bond even in extreme conditions, such as strong water, ice or earth pressure, movements of the sheet pile wall,displacement of the piles during transport, etc. in the interlock chamber. Even in daytime temperatures of 50°C the material will remain stable in the interlock.
• Optimal flexibility
  Conventional materials become as hard as glass in temperatures of just l0°C. WADlT®, on the other hand, remains extremely flexible even in ground water (5° to 7°C throughout the year). This means that no sealant can break out of the interlock when the sheet pile walls are inserted, thus resulting in leaks.
• Memory effect = material rebound after movement
  This unique effect of WADIT® (at ground water temperature) guarantees an excellent seal even in the event of torsion and other movement in the sheet pile wall interlock.
• Simple to handle
  One sack of WADIT® in the furnace = 25 kg of ready—mixed sealing compound, no additional work precise mass calculation for daily use and no additives for temperatures to 5°C.
• Clever packaging
  WADlT® is melted complete with its packaging. No residual waste materials are produced.
