Products Used
Penetron-approved applicators waterproofed the concrete floor slabs with PENETRON, a topically applied crystalline material. The two 800,000 liter water tanks – a drinking water storage tank and a firefighting water tank – and the attached sectional retaining walls were cast with PENETRON ADMIX-treated concrete supplied by Scribante Ready-Mix. PENEBAR SW waterstop strips were installed to permanently seal the construction joints. The 1,000 m2 (11,000 ft2) concrete parking deck was waterproofed with a topical application of PENETRON to ensure durability of the slab. A combination of PENETRON and PENECRETE MORTAR was used to fill the form-tie holes, waterproof construction joints and repair cracks throughout the new retail outlet.
