Description
Located near Beaverton, Oregon, on the west side of the Portland metropolitan area, Hillsboro is the fifth-largest city (pop. >107,000) in the state of Oregon. The region hosts many high-tech companies and is known locally as the Silicon Forest. Analog Devices Inc. (ADI), an American semiconductor company, expanded its production capacity in Oregon through the 2021 acquisition of the Hillsboro semiconductor fab as part of its $21 billion purchase of rival Maxim Integrated Products. Now, with the addition of 25,000 ft2 (2,273 m2) of cleanroom space, the Oregon factory is ADI’s largest and employs about 800 people.
Products Used
PENETRON ADMIX SB, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, was specified over a competitive product to treat about 1,200 yds3 (920 m3) of concrete mix for the slab on grade, stem walls, and containment areas. Added to concrete in premeasured soluble bags during batching and unaffected by climatic conditions, PENETRON ADMIX SB reduces permeability by permanently sealing microcracks, pores and capillaries, effectively protecting the concrete against water penetration and the effects of deterioration, even under high hydrostatic pressure.
