The way we build is changing. Thin-walled concrete construction elements, reinforced with carbon fibre or other textile reinforcements, are setting new standards in terms of load-bearing capacity, weight and corrosion resistance. However, joints are created when simpler components are combined to form complex 3D construction elements. These joints should be treated with component sealants in order to improve the longevity and aesthetics of a structure. But what should be done if the joints are so small that conventional sealing solutions plainly no longer do the job? BT innovation has developed a set of sealing solutions for textile-reinforced concrete manufacturers that meets the challenge of thin-walled, high-strength concrete elements and supports the transition from 2D to 3D elements with cost-effective solutions and reduced complexity.
