Shaka’s Head Reservoir

Ballito (KwaZulu Natal),, South Africa

Description

Located in the hills of the North Coast region northwest of Ballito, the construction of the new concrete dam for the Shaka’s Head Reservoir created a 1.5-million-liter (<400,000-gallons) capacity source of drinking water for the burgeoning region.

Once added to the slurry mix, PENETRON ADMIX, an integral crystalline waterproofing admixture, penetrates into the underlying concrete to create a non-soluble crystalline formation throughout the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete matrix. This enhances the durability and service life of concrete, and will also minimize any future waterproofing related maintenance costs for Siza Water, the reservoir’s owner and operator.
