We have been supporting major projects in more than 65 countries for more than 40 years.
Bucharest Subway Tunnels
Description :
The Bucharest Metro is a rapid transit system network with 51 stations and 70 km (44 miles) of track. First opened in 1979 and now serving over 500,000 passengers daily, numerous tunnels of the network recently needed to be renovated to stop water leakage.
Products Used :
A complete program of PENETRON technology was applied to seal the tunnels from further water ingress: PENEPLUG rapid-setting compound was used first to stop all active leaks, PENETRON INJECT grout helped to fill and seal deeply embedded voids, cracks and fissures, and PENEBAR SW-45 waterstop was used for all compromised construction joint in the concrete structures.
Burrows Road Tunnel, Sydney, Australia
Description :
A watertight tunnel that carries 6 x 132kV cable circuits under Burrows Road in the inner Sydney industrial area of Alexandria, the Burrows Road Tunnel is 87m (285 ft.) long and 2.8m (9 ft.) in diameter. Dug in completely saturated (and contaminated) soil, construction of the trenchless, watertight tunnel demanded an on-site water detention and disposal system. The launch and receive pits were sunk eight meters into the contaminated soil.
Products Used :
PENETRON ADMIX was used for all concrete elements within both the launching shaft and the receiving shaft to protect against water ingress under the extreme conditions found at the site. All construction joints and pipe penetration within the shafts were sealed with PENEBAR SW waterstops, the formed tie holes were filled with PENEPLUG and PENECRETE MORTAR.
Golden Gate Metro Station, Ukraine
Description :
Located 96.5 m (317-feet) below-ground, the Golden Gate Station of the Kiev Metro network opened in 1989. The station’s design features 80 decorative mosaics and images depicting the history of Kiev Rus’, a federation of East Slavic tribes in Europe from the 9th through 13th centuries.
Products Used :
A wide scope of PENETRON products, including PENETRON (crystalline topical material), PENEPLUG (fast-acting crystalline compound), and PENECRETE MORTAR were applied to the concrete structures of the station.
Kuznetsovskiy Tunnel, Russia
Description :
With an overall length of 3,890 m (12,760feet), the new Kuznetsovskiy Tunnel is one of the longest railway tunnels in Russia. It is expected to facilitate a substantial increase in freight traffic along the Eastern Baikal Amur Mainline Railway, which connects Komsomolsk-on-Amur with the seaports of Vanino and Soviet Harbor on the Pacific Coast of Eastern Siberia.
Products Used :
A wide scope of PENETRON products, including PENETRON (crystalline topical material), PENEPLUG (fast-acting crystalline compound), and PENECRETE MORTAR were applied to the concrete structures of the station.
