Description
SMURRF treats storm water run-off that used to go directly into Santa Monica Bay through storm drains, which includes pollutants such as litter, oil and animal waste. After a rainstorm, the system can generate about 500,000 gallons a day of treated water, which can be recycled for many uses. In total, the project can divert over 1.6 million gallons of polluted runoff away from the Santa Monica Bay.
Products Used
PENETRON ADMIX was specified by the project contractor to ensure the huge, 1.6 million-gallon underground concrete cistern was waterproof and resistant to the chemicals and pollutants often encountered in the runoff. By adding PENETRON ADMIX to the concrete mix, the contractor was also able to save substantial time on the waterproofing portion of the project schedule.
