Emseal DSM-FP System

Uses/Applications:

• For new construction and retrofit of old or failed joint systems
• For restoring watertightness to chronic leaking over occupied spaces
• Uniquely suited to joint openings between split-slab and solid slab construction
• Uniquely suited to deck-to-wall and deck-to-column conditions in split-slab construction
• Plaza and podium decks
• Split slab or asphalt-overlay parking decks
• Airport roadways
• Mall bridge connectors
• Stadium concourses, etc.

Product Description:

• The system consists of two subassemblies: 1) The structural-slab mounted supporting legs with integral waterproofing side sheets; and 2) the joint sealing silicone-faced foam.
• The mounting leg assembly is delivered with opposing legs factory-set to the nominal joint size. It is installed onto a wet-setting bed of epoxy mortar and bolted to the deck.
• The factory-assembled bellows and foam manufactured at applicable widths and depths are shipped from the factory.
• Epoxy gel adhesive is applied to the faces of the previously installed mounting leg assembly.
• The Emseal DSM SYSTEM precompressed foam sealant is installed into the joint gap where it self expands into the wet epoxy adhesive.
• Consecutive lengths are joined through the field-application of manufacturer-supplied, low-modulus, high-movement silicone to the intersecting bellows surfaces.
• A field-applied silicone sealant band is injected at the bellows to joint substrate interface to complete the waterproofing.
• With the DSM-FP side flashing sheets pulled out of the way, the deck waterproofing membrane is installed on the deck and brought over the top of, and up the DSM-FP mounting leg.
• The side flashing sheets are lowered into the liquid membrane (or into the non sag mastic component of a sheet waterproofing system) and sandwiched with another layer of waterproofing. Drainage board and/or protection board are added in accordance with the designer's preference
