Maltaria Campos Gerais

Description

With an investment of BRL 3 billion (USD 623 million), the Maltaria Campos Gerais project is led by the Cooperativa Agrária, a Brazilian agricultural-industrial cooperative, along with five other cooperatives from Paraná. Cooperativa Agrária is the largest malt producer in Latin America. Its leading product is Pilsen Malt, and after recent expansion, the cooperative also produces specialty malts such as Pale Ale, Vienna, and Munich, all made with 100% domestically sourced barley.


Products Used

Thanks to the technical support by Penetron Brazil, the project engineers at Construtora Vieiro specified PENETRON ADMIX as the concrete waterproofing solution. The crystalline admixture was used for all concrete structures that come in contact with the grains to reduce the permeability of the concrete and promote the self-healing of passive cracks of up to 0.5 mm.
