How this node works
The wall is cast in alternate panels: a primary panel is formed with a shaped end (a stop-end tube), then the secondary panel is cast against it, the two interlocking. A water-stop in the joint blocks the path of groundwater, making the line between panels watertight — the key to using the wall as a permanent basement.
