uMhlanga Rocks Whalebone Pier

uMhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa)

Description

The uMhlanga Rocks Whalebone Pier is the final extension of a large underground storm water culvert that stretches 80 m (265 feet) across the beach towards the ocean, finally emptying into a deep-water channel. Topped with a public walkway, the Pier has magnificent views of the eThekwini coastline and the city of Durban in the distance. It is a popular tourist destination and remains one of the most photographed spots in the region.


Products Used

As a result, PENECRETE MORTAR, a crystalline waterproofing repair grout, was used to repair the cracks and fill the voids in the concrete pier elements. PENETRON, a topical crystalline waterproofing material, was applied over the prepared surfaces of the concrete structure to reduce permeability and increase protection, completing the waterproofing system.
