Description:
The Corredor Duarte Tunnel, the newest tunnel in the Dominican Republic is part of the Corredor (Corridor) Duarte that provides a rapid connection between Santo Domingo and the rest of the country. About 1,200m (4,000 ft.) in length, the tunnel plays a key role in relieving chronic traffic congestion in the capitol. Using the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) construction process, a much thinner shotcrete layer was applied, immediately behind the tunnel boring machine, creating a natural load-bearing ring and minimizing deformation of the surrounding layers of rock.
Products Used:
PENETRON ADMIX was used to reduce the permeability of the shotcrete walls. PENEBAR SW-55 was used to seal the concrete construction joints. In total, 45 tons of PENETRON ADMIX and 2,300 meters of PENEBAR SW-55 were used.
Description:
To address the growing water & sanitation needs of the city of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, the concrete structures of the Coors Sanitary Sewer Vacuum Station in Albuquerque, NM were updated. The vacuum station provides sewer service to approximately 600 properties and was expanded to improve capacity and decrease contamination.
Products Used:
Approved by the Army Corps of Engineers, PENETRON products were used to waterproof the concrete structures of this waste water facility.
Description:
With over 220,000 square feet (20,000m2) of space, the Clough Commons is an innovative “green” construction that features 41 classrooms, two auditoriums (each 300+ seating), study rooms, a roof garden, exhibit spaces, the CommLab (computer & IT technology lab), a solar array for energy, water cistern (1.4 million gallon capacity). It also houses labs for Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Earth & Atmospheric Sciences.
Products Used:
PENETRON ADMIX was used to treat over 2,200 cubic yards of structurally reinforced concrete for the underground cistern as an NSF 61-approved non-toxic solution and to ensure that the structure walls remain waterproof.
Description:
Clínica Las Condes is a well-established hospital with high standards of medical care and academic excellence. Located in an area pervaded by canals and rivers originating in the nearby Andes, waterproofing the retaining walls of the Clinic’s parking garage was a major issue.
Products Used:
The waterproofing featured PENETRON ADMIX, which was added on-site to the concrete mixing truck.
Description:
The African Elephant Crossing at Cleveland’s Metroparks Zoo features a species-appropriate layout with a wading pool, a swimming pool and waterfall. The project was certified as a “green” LEED construction. Most of the construction included wet process shotcrete applications, demanding close coordination for the placement and curing of the concrete elements.
Products Used:
PENETRON ADMIX turned out to be the most cost-effective solution for the construction team.
Description:
The largest private hydroelectric plant in Europe, the Clavalitè River plant draws water from the dam (with a 20,000m3 water capacity and a height of 525m) through three turbines to generate a total of 21,000 kilowatts/hour.
Products Used:
The entire concrete structure was successfully treated with PENETRON ADMIX. The compressive strength of the Penetron Admix treated concrete on this project was measured at Rck = 45MPa (after 60 days of curing in water) over the control sample with Rck = 35Mpa.
