Penetron recommended the Penetron System of concrete waterproofing products. PENETRON ADMIX, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, was added to the mix for all new concrete structures; the previous construction joints were permanently sealed with PENEBAR SW-55 swellable waterstop strips; the tie holes were repaired with PENECRETE MORTAR, a crystalline repair grout, and PENETRON, a surface-applied, crystalline waterproofing material. PENETRON ARC, an acid-resistant coating, was spray-applied to the concrete surfaces in the liquid fluctuation level and gas zone of the plant.
