Description
The Saratov Gagarin International Airport is about 20 km (>12 miles) north of the city of Saratov (pop. ca. 2.5 million). This 10 billion-ruble ($150 million) project replaced the previous Tsentralny Airport as the main commercial airport for the Saratov Oblast in the Volga Federal Region of Russia. Designed by ASADOV Architectural Bureau, the new airport has an annual capacity of one million passengers. The project’s design was nominated for the Russian Union of Architects Award.
Products Used
The Penetron Russia team recommended PENETRON ADMIX, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, to ensure a concrete mix with the required waterproofing characteristics, as well as the much-needed durability to withstand the fairly harsh local climate. Due to the experience Penetron Russia had gained from past involvement in other airport projects in Russia and adjacent countries, the team was confident this solution would exceed their strict requirements.
