Abstract: A spreader pipe for use in erecting concrete walls. The spreader pipe may contain at least one hole in its wall which is then covered with an impermeable cuff to prevent the poured concrete from passing into the spreader pipe. Once the wall has been erected and the boarding plates removed, grout may be injected into the spreader pipe in such a manner that it flows through the at least one hole and passes from the cuff into the hollow spaces and cracks in the concrete wall around the spreader pipe thereby making the concrete wall substantially waterproof. Alternatively, the spreader pipe may contain weak spots, rather than the at least one hole, which are punctured by the pressure of the grout being forced into the spreader pipe, thereby filling the hollow spaces and cracks in the concrete wall around the spreader pipe.

Abstract: Contraction joint rail for fitting in a wall (4) to be concreted and the use of such a rail which consists of a strip-like bar (1) with a device fitted to it forming an injection channel (2) extending over the length of the bar (1). The bar (1) may consist of a thin-walled plastic component, sheet zinc or the like. The device forming the injection channel (2) may be a foam strip (12) applied to the bar (1). The bar (1) may be fitted on both sides with a device forming an injection channel (2) and/or have perforations (5) permitting the penetration of a sealing material. The contraction joint rail of the invention is applied to an area of the wall (4) to be concreted and extends over the entire height of the wall (4), whereby after the wall (4) has been concreted, sealing material is sprayed into the injection channel (2) thus formed.

Abstract: Apparatus for injecting grout into a spreader pipe used in the erection of concrete walls. The apparatus has a central jet tube containing holes and having a nozzle locking cap mounted on one end. A jacket containing injection holes encases the jet tube in a manner which covers the holes in the jet tube. The apparatus also contains two draw-in hoses on both sides of the jacket that encases the jet tube. The draw-in hoses operate selectively to bulge out in an axial direction, thereby sealing off an interspace within the spreader pipe between the draw-in hoses and allowing grout to be pumped into the spreader pipe.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for introducing sealing material into at least one tubular injection element (12, 13), such as a hose and/or channel, in a concrete joint-sealing system, the injection element joining forming a sealant-injection path in the interior of the concrete and being laid between a primary and a secondary concrete slab on the surface of the primary slab and surrounded by the secondary slab. On injection, sealant flows out of the injection element into the joints between the concrete slabs. The device consists of a target element (1) which is connected for sealant transfer with the injection element and forms a cavity in the secondary concrete slab.
