Products Used
About 2,000 yds3 of PENETRON ADMIX SB-treated concrete mix was used for all concrete structures exposed to stormwater run-off and effluent. Delivered in pre-measured soluble bags, PENETRON ADMIX SB is added to the concrete mix during the batching phase. Once part of the mix, the admixture creates a non-soluble crystalline network, which forms throughout the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete to reduce concrete permeability and increase resistance to the chemicals and aggressive compounds found in wastewater.
