Products Used
PENETRON ADMIX was specified for the concrete mix used in the foundation slabs and below-grade retaining walls that house the two-level parking garage and basement under all three buildings – up to almost 5 m (16 feet) below ground level. PENEBAR SW, a swellable waterstop, was used to seal construction joints. PENECRETE MORTAR was applied as a repair grout for tie-holes, pipe-holes and any cracks larger than 0.5mm (1/51”) and, in a final step, a coat of PENETRON, a topical crystalline material, was applied to any exposed concrete surfaces.
