How this node works

Where a pour stops, the surface is left rough and a water-stop is set in it; the vertical reinforcement runs continuous across the joint. So the next lift bonds and the wall stays watertight even where it was cast in two stages.

  • Wall (lower lift)
  • Wall (upper lift)
  • Rough construction joint
  • Water-stop
