Products Used
PENETRON ADMIX SB, a permeability-reducing concrete admixture, was specified to treat the concrete vaults and storage areas. The admixture was added directly to the mix during batching in pre-measured soluble bags, which dissolve easily to simplify dosing and minimize packaging waste. PENETRON, a topical crystalline material, and PENECRETE MORTAR, a crystalline waterproofing repair grout, were applied to the concrete surfaces to seal pipe and cable inlets, construction joints, tie-holes on the walls – and any imperfections that occurred during concrete placement.
