Mastic or roller-compacted asphalt sealing layers are used in storage and filling facilities for manure, slurry and silage effluent (MSS facilities) and biogas storage and filling facilities (biogas S

A plastic fastener consists of a plastic sleeve and a steel or plastic expansion element. The plastic fastener is placed into a pre-drilled hole in the base material and anchored through expansion of

Liquid applied roof waterproofing kits are usually multi-component systems and are applied in liquid form in multiple layers. After curing, they form the roof waterproofing. Waterproofing of buildings

Other anchorages and fixings for use in concrete and masonry include, e.g. post-installed rebar connections, internal threaded sockets, sandwich panel anchors, wire rope loop systems, facade panel anc

Overhead glazing (also known as 'horizontal glazing') is understood to be glazing with an angle of inclination of more than 10° with respect to the vertical plane. With overhead glazing, it is assumed

Space frames are three-dimensional frame structures which serve as roof or building structures. They usually consist of frame members (tubes) and nodes. At least two frame members are joined at a node

External thermal insulation composite systems, or ETICS for short, are multi-layer systems used to insulate the external wall of a building. The ETICS consists of Insulating materials, a type of fixin

These facades with mechanically fixed external wall cladding are usually rainscreen cladding system (in accordance with DIN 18516-1) with cladding elements that are fixed mechanically to the subframe,

Parquet adhesives are used across large surface areas to bond parquet or wood flooring to the substrate. They can consist of one or two components. Acrylate dispersions, epoxides, polyurethanes, silan

DIN 4426 stipulates that anchoring devices for personal fall protection equipment as well as rope and rail systems need to be provided for building maintenance. Since there are no product standards or

Metal fasteners are post-installed mechanical fasteners for use in concrete. They are placed in pre-drilled holes and anchored in concrete through friction and/or an interference fit (mechanical inter

A sandwich panel consists of two faces and a supporting core. The supporting core is made of a thermally insulating material. It is connected to the two faces via an interference fit such that the thr

Penetration seals are used in fire-stopping and fire-sealing measures when services, such as pipes and cables, penetrate fire-resistant walls and/or ceilings. Penetration seals prevent the spread of f

Trenchless rehabilitation techniques are increasingly being applied in wastewater engineering today. For the rehabilitation of underground supply pipes and drainage pipes, techniques such as lining wi
