Williamsport, PA, USA

Description:

The site of the annual Little League World Series finals for over 50 years, the Howard Lamade Stadium has evolved from a ball field to a baseball complex with a seating capacity of 40,000. However, due to exposure to the elements, the concrete structures were badly deteriorated. 

Products Used:

PENETRON ADMIX was used for the stadium reconstruction project; the existing wall that supported the concourse walkway and separated the stadium seating from the dugouts was replaced and redesigned with a new PENETRON ADMIX-treated wall and new entrance slabs. The concourse was also widened and new curb and drainage was constructed to minimize flooding of the field from the water in the stands. Additionally, drainage was improved to provide safer and easier access to stadium seating.

Ansan, South Korea

Description:

Homeplus, a Korean discount store retail chain (owned by Tesco) has 113 branches throughout South Korea and is the second largest retailer in the country. This project included a large retail store and parking area on the roof of the building. Initially, a membrane solution was specified for waterproofing of the structure, but turned out to be unsuitable due to the projected volumes of traffic and future repair issues.

Products Used:

PENETRON ADMIX was used to treat 1,905m³ (2,492yd³) of concrete for the rooftop parking structure. All construction joints were sealed with PENECRETE MORTAR and PENETRON. The comprehensive success of this solution led to the use of the PENETRON technology on two additional rooftop parking structures; the Homeplus stores in Kyeongsan and Busan City.
