Description
Rancagua, a city of 230,000, is the capital of the Cachapoal Province in Chile, 87 km (54 miles) south of the country’s capital of Santiago. The new Rancagua Justice Center now houses three courts and the Court of Appeals. The 21 billion peso (US$31.4 million) complex features seven levels and three below-ground floors (14,000 m2), including a two-story parking garage. Pedestrian walkways and green areas link the various courts, completing the modernist design.
Products Used
Petreos (HOLCIM Chile) mixed PENETRON ADMIX directly into the concrete during batching. Over 2,300 m3 (3,010 cubic yards) of concrete were treated with PENETRON ADMIX and applied to the foundation walls, foundation slabs, and all concrete structures exposed to the high humidity and the high-water table encountered at the construction site.
