Description
Still located at its original site on the banks of the Kentucky River, the Buffalo Trace Distillery is a fully operational distillery producing bourbon, rye and vodka, and is a National Historic Landmark and is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Recently, the distillery completed a $1.2 billion expansion, including the addition of 14 new barrel warehouses, 12 additional fermenters, additional cookers, a new cooling system, and a much larger visitor center. By the end of 2022, the new dry house, hammer mill, an additional still house and wastewater treatment plant will be operational.
Products Used
PENETRON ADMIX SB, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, was added to 1,400 yds3 of concrete to protect the sump pit, foundation slab, foundation walls and certain parts of the slab-on-grade of the renovated warehouse. The Buffalo Trace warehouse’s concrete structures are now resistant to concrete deterioration caused by water penetration and corrosion, while withstanding water from a flooding river, and hydrostatic pressure from the groundwater.
