Manlius, NY, USA

Description:
The Onondaga County Water Authority (OCWA) upgrade of existing open-air, in-ground reservoirs converted these into enclosed and protected concrete tanks.  The construction of a 32 million gallon water holding tank system – spread over more than four acres – benefitted from an effective concrete waterproofing admixture that helped meet stringent performance and cost requirements.

Products Used:
The PENETRON ADMIX waterproofing agent was used in the ready-mix concrete because it met the tight budgetary limits of the OCWA Eastern Reservoir project.  It also helps concrete resist damage from freeze-thaw cycles, cracks and even spalling, increasing durability and effectively lowering maintenance costs.
