Products Used
With a 4,500 m2 (48,450 square feet) footprint and 4 below-ground floors and 7 aboveground floors, extensive shotcrete walls were initially placed on perimeter secant piling to permit construction of the building. PENETRON technology was used to eliminate leaks in the shotcrete walls. PENETRON crystalline slurry was applied to the surface as a final coat over the whole repaired area.
