Description
Located on the banks of the Ohio River in southern Indiana, Charlestown has around 8,000 inhabitants. The new facility, with double the treatment capacity of the previous water treatment plant, is expected to exceed the town’s growing residential and industrial demand, which is expected to increase with the completion of the River Ridge Commerce Center, an expansive business and industrial park currently under development.
Products Used
The concrete in the new water treatment plant, including the clear well, contact tanks, and pump station was treated by imi, the ready-mix concrete supplier, with PENETRON ADMIX SB. Certified by NSF for use with potable water, the crystalline waterproofing admixture stops water and chemicals from entering the concrete, even under the constant hydrostatic pressure encountered in a water treatment plant. Its ability to permanently self-heal future microcracks also prevents any water-related deterioration from occurring over the service life of the concrete.
