Jade Apartments is the most recent development directly on the beachfront in Surfers Paradise. It is unique in design as there is only 1 unit per floor and its is elliptical in shape making it a unique building in Australia.

The basement is about 10 meters below water table and made of  50MPa concrete. Penetron Admix was chosen not just to waterproof the basement but mainly due to the resistance it offers against chloride ion penetration in this marine environment.
Over 2000m3 of Penetron Admix was used in the base slab, lift pits, in-situ concrete retaining walls, podium transfer deck, swimming pools, terraces and even the roof.

Additionally over 1200 metres of PENEBAR SW-55 waterstop was used in construction joints in lift pits, retaining walls, podium transfer deck and swimming pool. The reason for using PENEBAR SW-55  over regular type waterstops was the fact the builder was able to form up the majority of walls without having to pour concrete immediately after the waterstop was put in place. PENEBAR SW-55’s ability to get wet without swelling immediately allowed for easier coordination and greater peace of mind for all involved in this process.

The builder, Bezzina Constructions, was very satisified with the service and performance of the products and awarded PENETRON AUSTRALIA another 2 large scale projects as a result.
 

The excavated area for this project with a 2-level basement had to have hundreds of liters of water pumped out per hour, so a high-performance waterproofing product was top priority for TDM Constructions and the Engineers, Rienmac Pty Ltd. 

TDM looked at all systems available and examined PENETRON ADMIX reference projects nearby where the product is performing superbly under very high water pressure. They decided to use Penetron Admix to waterproof over 2000m3 of concrete and 600m3 of shotcrete. All lift pits, base slabs and even exposed areas on the podium as well as the shotcreted retaining walls were treated with Penetron Admix.

 Furthermore Penetron, Penecrete Mortar and Peneplug were used on Stage 1 to repair severe water leaks in the shotcrete and concrete in which another admixture was used.

Campo Pequeno has been  a bullfight arena right in the Lisbon city center since the 18th century. The building features neo-Arab style with an area of 5000m2 and an arena diameter of 80m.

By 1990 the old masonry building needed extensive repairs and renovation. A large basement was added to provide a new commercial area, including an underground car park. About 1,000 m2 of  these basement concrete walls had water leaks. Several tests were carried out successfully and hence the Penetron system was chosen to waterproof the project.

When the City of Harrisonburg, Virginia were looking for the peace of mind that the new tanks they had commissioned to be built would provide many years service, their consulting engineers, Wiley & Wilson, Inc, specified the use of Penetron Admix. 

Both the main 5 million gallon tank and the smaller 600,000 gallon tank were prestressed concrete tanks designed and built by The Crom Corporation.  Penetron Admix was used in the shotcrete process in the construction of the walls and floors of the tanks. 

In addition to providing the concrete with very low permeability characteristics, Penetron Admix provided the corrosion protection needed for the prestressed cables and rebar used in the tank construction ensuring the City of Harrisonburg many, many years of low cost maintenance and trouble free service.
