Description
To create a more robust and drought-resilient water supply for Central Indiana, the Citizens Energy Group, a public utility service company based in Indianapolis, was tasked by the state government to build an additional water storage facility and a new water treatment plant to bolster the water output of the Geist Reservoir, the main source of drinking water for the region. Located in the northeastern part of the Indianapolis metropolitan area, the Geist Reservoir was constructed in 1943 and is the second-largest man-made lake in Indiana, with a capacity of about 6.9 billion US gallons of water.
Products Used
Shelby Materials, the concrete ready-mix supplier, worked with Penetron to develop an optimal concrete mix for the new water treatment plant, which was part of the $30 million project. PENETRON ADMIX SB was recommended to ensure a robust waterproofing solution for the concrete structures of the new water treatment plant. Because all Penetron crystalline waterproofing products are NSF-61 certified, PENETRON ADMIX SB is completely non-toxic and contains no VOCs – ideal for the concrete structures of water treatment plants in constant contact with drinking water resources.
