Description
The Matasnillo River Sanitation project is part of a national government action plan to manage and eliminate urban waste that previously flowed into the Matasnillo River. Construction work comprised new sanitary sewage pipes, storm water pipes, wastewater collection systems, wastewater interceptor systems and wastewater treatment plants.
Products Used
CEMEX Panamá, the project’s ready-mix concrete supplier, specified PENETRON ADMIX, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, to protect new concrete structures from constant exposure to the collected effluent and contaminated waters of Matasnillo River. The admixture was added to the shotcrete mix and applied to the pit structure surfaces of the wells for permanent protection against concrete deterioration. PENETRON ADMIX was used to treat over 3,800 m3 (4,970 yds3) of concrete for all the wastewater collection pits.
