Products Used
Construction on the Wiener Laboratory for Archaeological Science was below the water table and the builder specified PENETRON ADMIX for 2,500 m3 of concrete for the new basement structures and elevator pits to optimize resistance to water penetration, even with hydrostatic pressure. PENEBAR SW waterstop was used to seal all construction joints. In addition, the PENETRON-enhanced crystalline slurry applied in combination with PENECRETE MORTAR took care of any final repairs.
