Description
NWK’s new Silo 3 complex in Lichtenburg consists of 8 silo bases, which are the foundation structures of silos used to store various types of grain or silage. The impermeability of these concrete structures is vital to prevent moisture from penetrating into the silo and damaging the stored agricultural crops within.
Products Used
The Penetron System was specified for the repair of the compromised concrete structures of the NWK Silo 3 complex to ensure a permanent barrier against moisture and water ingress. A combination of PENETRON, a topically applied crystalline slurry, and PENECRETE MORTAR, a crystalline waterproofing repair grout, were used to fill in all cracks wider than 0.5 mm and repair other damaged concrete surfaces; in total, 2,000 m2 (22,000 ft2) of concrete were treated. The crack repairs were completed by Delmos, a Penetron-approved applicator, guaranteeing the durability of both the new and repaired silos.
