An approved dynamic construction is used for effectively thermally insulating and sealing of a safing slot between a floor of a building and an exterior wall construction. The exterior wall construction includes a curtain wall configuration defined by an interior wall glass surface including one or more aluminum framing members, wherein the vision glass extends to the finished floor level below. The dynamic, thermally insulating and sealing system includes a first element for receiving the insulating elements and positioned in the zero spandrel area of a glass curtain wall construction including only vision glass to maintain thermally insulating and sealing of the sating slot during exposure to fire and heat as well as movement in order to maintain a complete seal extending across the safing slot.

Described is an approved dynamic construction for effectively thermally insulating and sealing of a safing slot between a floor of a building and an exterior wall construction wherein the exterior wall construction comprises a curtain wall configuration defined by an interior wall glass surface including one or more aluminum framing members. In particular, a process for assembling a unitized panel for use within an exterior dynamic curtain wall assembly, which includes glass, especially vision glass extending to the finished floor level below, is described as well as a unitized panel assembled according to said process and its installation to improve fire stopping at the safing slot.

A structure-lining apparatus for lining one or more surfaces of a structure formed from curable material cast in a form. The apparatus comprises a plurality of panels. The panels are connected at their respective edges in an edge-to-edge connection to provide a structure-lining surface. A plurality of anchoring components project from the panels into the liquid material during fabrication of the structure. The anchoring components each comprise one or more anchoring features which are encased in the material as the material solidifies to thereby bond the anchoring components to the structure. The plurality of anchoring components comprises one or more connector-type anchoring components for connecting to corresponding connector-type anchoring components on adjacent edges of a corresponding edge-adjacent panel to connect the edge-adjacent panels in an edge-adjacent relationship. The apparatus comprises one or more breakaway components on at least one of the plurality of panels.

A sealing element as well as a seal is for sealing a corrugation of a fluted metal deck. The sealing element is moldable and self-adhesive and has a predefined geometry adapted to seal the corrugation. Furthermore, a method is for installing a wall configuration, preferably a drywall configuration, to a fluted metal deck with corrugations.

A method for producing of a tubular sealing element for sealing a safing slot in a curtain wall construction is described, particularly for sealing the slot with regard to noise, smoke, and fire and if applicable with regard to water, and an apparatus for producing such a tubular sealing element, as well as to the use of the tubular sealing element produced according to the invention for fire-, smoke-, sound- and water-proof sealing of perimeter joints in curtain wall constructions are described. In particular, an improved method for continuous and endless production of a tubular sealing element for different safing slot dimensions is described.

A system for creating a durable water-resistant seal in the joint between adjacent panels. A durable foam-based expansion seal system provides contacting surfaces which are not planar by inclusion of extensions or second bodies and which therefore provide localized areas of higher density.

A waterstop assembly for use as embedded components in at least a pair of adjacent concrete slabs, defining elongated first and second waterstop panels including a main body sheet to which is mounted by coextrusion or insertion to both of its opposite top and bottom ends a soft expansible flange made from hydrophilic thermoplastic material. Each hydrophilic soft flange has such an expansion capability as to provide strong radially outward pressure applied by the soft flange against the adjacent concrete slabs, thus providing watertight interconnection therebetween. A welding block is taken in sandwich between overlapping transitional end portions of the first and second waterstop panels. Integral ridge and groove connectors interconnect the welding block with the waterstop panels. Resistance wires connected at one end to an electric power source fuse the welding block and the first and second waterstop panels, wherein a watertight joint is formed therebetween. An upright steel post is mounted spacedly parallel to a corresponding one of first and second waterstop panels, and a transverse anchor arm transversely spacedly retaining waterstop panel in upright operational condition parallel to the steel post before and during first concrete pour.

A system creates a durable water-resistant seal in the joint between adjacent panels. The durable expansion seal system includes an elastically-compressive body, a first cover plate segment, a second cover segment, and one or more ribs which provide a seal against water when inserted between substrates and permitted to expand to fit the gap between them.
