Products Used

The contractor, also used PENEBAR SW swellable waterstop to seal the construction joints, PENETRON slurry replaced the air entrainment process for the pump station walls to reduce the propensity for bug holes in the new concrete, and PENECRETE MORTAR was applied to patch any voids (tie holes, bug holes, etc.) in the concrete.
