Anyone can make a joint watertight in cross-section.  It's at changes in plane and direction and integration with other systems that joints leak.  Unique and innovative material technologies are central to EMSEAL's approach to joint sealing but no more so than philosophy of collaborative 3-D design and execution.

Sweeping Plaza Deck Joints Under the Rug--The Hidden Pitfalls of Buried "Band-Aide" Joint Sealing Solutions

MIGUTAN®

Watertight joint integrates into buried waterproofing membranes in split slab deck construction of parking, plaza, podium stadium concourses etc.

1000's of feet of MIGUTAN side sheets are embedded into hot rubberized asphalt deck waterproofing at the mega mixed-use development Atlantic Station, Atlanta, GA.


MIGUTAN system in split-slab concourse joints at Keyspan Park, Coney Island, NY.
Provides watertight joints over occupied space below, pedestrian-friendly surface, and is accessible for long-term maintenance of sealing gland.

 

For applications, particularly over occupied space, where totally watertight integration of expansion joint and deck membrane is a fundamental requirement as in split-slab construction on plaza (podium) decks, parking decks, stadiums, and anywhere waterproofed split slab construction is specified.

Unique design incorporating side membranes which integrate with deck waterproofing system to form a continuous, completely watertight system.

MIGUTAN is the only system of its kind with a 20-year track record and tens of thousands of feet installed and functioning.

Heavy-duty aluminum side rails. Stainless steel, gland-retaining capping strips allow long-term maintenance access.

The MIGUTAN sealing insert and side flashing sheets are heat-weldable thermoplastic rubber (TPR).  This ensures continuity of seal through transitions in plane and direction as well as at terminations.

Positive interlocking metal rails or alternate stainless-steel pins eliminate misalignment between adjoining sections.

Tees, crosses, directional changes, column details, terminations, and changes in plane are available as factory-fabricated assemblies.

Leg heights from 1" (25mm) to 12" (400mm) accommodate pavers, asphalt and other toppings.

Exceptional durability under vehicular traffic and extreme weather and temperature conditions.

Low leg height version (FP 110/25) also used on free-standing foundation and tunnel walls below grade (consult EMSEAL).
