Safa Gate Residential Tower (G+5P+50 Storeys+Roof Garden) by DAMAC

About the Project

Safa Gate Residential Tower by DAMAC is a 50-storey tower in Dubai, rising above a ground floor and five parking levels and topped with a roof garden. In a tower of this scale, construction joints and pile-head interfaces are critical points for water migration below grade. Baumerk Swellband A hydrophilic swellable waterstop was installed at substructure construction joints and around pile-head treatment interfaces. When it contacts water, the profile expands to seal joint voids, keeping a continuous watertight barrier under groundwater and hydrostatic pressure and reducing the risk of leakage-related maintenance.

Swellband A is an acrylic polymer-based swelling waterstop that expands in a controlled way on contact with water, so it does not swell prematurely when cast into concrete. Fixed to the joint surface with Super Tack 290 before concreting, it seals construction joints and is also suitable for areas exposed to sea water.
