German term
Fugenschluss
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
This appears in a document discussing the different construction options for a tunnel. This term is in a list of the construction risks of this tunnel:
...quellfähige Tone im Bauuntergrund, **Fugenschluss** der Tunnelelemente im Bereich...
...expandable clays in the construction ground, **Fugenschluss** of the tunnel elements in the area...
My research has come up with nothing and I'm at a complete loss with this term. Any help would be much appreciated.

: The joints should be sealed flush with the adjacent pavement surface on either side https://civilblog.org/2016/02/02/quality-requirements-of-joi...

joint sealing / sealing of joints / fully closed joints / full closure of joints
Joint repair: sealing of construction joints and expansion joints in structural and civil engineering
There are water impermeable concrete structures in many sectors of the construction trade whose construction joints and expansion joints need to be sealed professionally. These joints can be sealed in different ways.
Leaking joints between construction elements are a known problem with engineered structures below ground. This also affects segment linings constructed with tunnel boring machines. If subsequent waterproofing grouting is required, targeted joint sealing through the gasket is an effective and cost-saving alternative to laborious concrete drilling, which normally has to be undertaken to seal leaks.

der Steinhöhe der Fall sein dürfte, kann die zweite Fugenfüllung, der sogenannte
Fugenschluss, durch ungebundenes Fugenmaterial mit einem hohen Feinanteil <0,063 mm erfolgen. http://www.fugensonde.de/images/Downloads/Fachartikel_THIS_2...
