Puerto Madero Terminal

Description

The latest expansion project for the Puerto Madero Waterfront covers an area of 50,000 m² (550,000 ft²), encompassing expansion and modernization of the Buquebus River Terminal. Construction focused on three main structures: Darsena, a three-level parking garage on Calle Antártida Argentina, Manzana, a below-grade three-level parking garage including workshop buildings and outbuildings, and the Dock, an expansion of the historic terminal building and workshops on the Calle Cecilia Grierson.

Products Used

PENETRON ADMIX, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, was added to the concrete mix for the walls and foundation slabs of all three structures. Over 2,000 linear meters of PENEBAR SW swellable waterstop strips were also installed to permanently seal the new construction joints. The treated concrete structures are now resistant to deterioration caused by water penetration and corrosion, while withstanding water from the river and hydrostatic pressure from the groundwater.
