Working with project engineers at Almave, the general contractor, Penetron Slovakia provided a durable concrete waterproofing solution for the construction of the monastery’s water storage tank, livestock water trough (for the museum, medicinal plant garden and farm animals), and septic tank. A combination of PENECRETE MORTAR, a crystalline waterproofing mortar, and PENETRON, a topical crystalline waterproofing material, was topically applied to all concrete surfaces and tie-holes to provide durable protection from any future water or moisture penetration.
