EAST SETAUKET, N.Y., April 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Skåne University Hospital in Malmö, Sweden recently completed two new buildings - a service building and a morgue - as part of a $640 million infrastructure upgrade for the complex. Designed by Tengbom Arkitekter, the service building is a glass house that symbolizes efficiency and transparency. The adjacent morgue, on the other hand, is a more closed design that creates a contemplative atmosphere.
Due to the high groundwater conditions at the construction site, PENETRON ADMIX was specified to waterproof and protect all below-grade concrete structures at the hospital. Swerock, the project's ready-mix concrete supplier, collaborated with PEN-TEC Nordic, the Penetron distributor for the Scandinavian region, on an effective concrete mix design. Approximately 7,000 m3 of PENETRON ADMIX-treated concrete were used for the foundation slabs and the retaining walls of both buildings to ensure durability and completely waterproof solution.
The proprietary chemicals in PENETRON ADMIX react to moisture in the concrete to generate a non-soluble crystalline formation in the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete. This formation permanently seals micro-cracks, pores and capillaries against the penetration of water or liquids from any direction. Thanks to Penetron waterproof technology, the new buildings were completed on time and will be around for a long time.
The Penetron Group is a leading manufacturer of specialty construction products for concrete waterproofing, concrete repairs, and floor preparation systems. The Group operates through a global network, offering support to the design and construction community through its regional offices, representatives, and distribution channels.
