Description
The Chemical Weapons Destruction facility in Shchuch'ye was constructed to eliminate chemical weapons containing VX nerve agent and other chemical weapons that had been stored in Russia since the Soviet era. A two-stage process is used to convert lethal chemical agent into a significantly less toxic substance; this is stored in special bunkers at the site. The bunker facility is designed specifically to reduce risks of environmental contamination and exposure to the workers and the public.
Products Used
A suite of PENETRON products was used to help build this facility. About 2,000 cubic meters of concrete were treated: for the bunkers and the walls and floor of a pumping station to ensure seamless impermeability and prevent any toxic materials from leaking out.
