Products Used
Supermix Concretos added PENETRON ADMIX SB, a crystalline concrete waterproofing admixture, to the concrete used for the foundation slab of the new CAPS facility. The construction joints between the foundation slab and the retaining walls were sealed with PENEBAR SW swellable waterstop strips. After proper preparation of the concrete surfaces of the retaining walls, PENECRETE MORTAR, a crystalline waterproofing repair grout, was used to fill any gaps and to repair any cracks (wider than 0.5mm) in the concrete walls. PENETRON, a crystalline waterproofing material, was then topically applied to the finished walls to permanently protect the whole structure.
