Precaster:
Hartford Concrete Products / A.C. Miller Concrete Products
The Situation:
As part of developing standards for communication infrastructure in the United States, Bell Laboratories develped new test standards for the precast concrete industry. Bell Laboratories – in conjunction with A.C. Miller Concrete Products, Hartford Concrete Products, and Concrete Sealants – started testing utility vaults for watertight integrity. Utilizing a water test and a smoke test, it was proven that butyl rubber sealants provide the best, watertight seal.
The Solution:
Many technological advancements developed from these new standards and test methods. One of those advancements is CS-202, a sealant that provides superior adhesion and watertight protection between concrete castings than previously available technologies.
Sealant Application:
- Utility Vaults
ConSeal Products Used:
Applicable Industry Standards:
- ASTM C990
