Description
The Policlinico San Martino Hospital is an extensive healthcare facility comprising about 5,000 employees housed in dozens of specialized diagnosis and treatment buildings. The Policlinico recently completed an internal reorganization, which also included a comprehensive renovation program to modernize many of the Policlinico’s pavilions and upgrade the technical facilities to meet new healthcare requirements. Part of the upgrade program was the construction of a 90 m (300-foot) long subterranean tunnel for pedestrians and hospital stretchers connecting Pavilion 12 and Pavilion 40 to the newly completed Specialità Pavilion and a new elevator shaft connecting the Medical Pavilions (12 & 40).
Products Used
The elevator shaft was cast in situ using PENETRON ADMIX-treated concrete and PENEBAR SW swellable waterstop strips to seal the resulting construction joints. PENECRETE MORTAR was also used to complete repairs required in the concrete structure.
