SETAUKET, N.Y., July 23,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The July 2024 opening of the Park 10 Buenavista
office building in San Fernando de la Buena Vista, Argentina, offers an upscale office
environment. The Penetron System of crystalline concrete
waterproofing products was specified to protect the building's
below-grade concrete structures from high groundwater levels
typical for the region.
By choosing the Penetron System, the TRG
Group, the project developer, was also able to meet various LEED
parameters for certification. Park 10 Buenavista is now fully LEED
certified – and was completed on time.
Located in the Gran Buenos Aires metropolitan area about 20 km
(12 mi) north of the center of Buenos
Aires, San Fernando de la Buena Vista is a city of over
145,000 inhabitants. First founded as a settlement in 1806, it was
recognized as a city in 1909. Originally a river port and center
for cattle raising, today the city is a manufacturing and
commercial center, with furniture factories, paper mills, quarries,
as well as dairy farms, fisheries, and fruit orchards.
Designed by Urgell-Penedo-Urgell Architects, the seven floor
Park 10 Buenavista office building offers 7,000 m2 (77,000 ft2) of
modern, open plan office environment with common rooms for
corporate meetings, a gastronomic venue, and rooftop deck (270 m2 /
3,000 ft2). The three-level underground parking garage has space
for 262 cars.
"Because the excavation at the construction site reached down
three below-grade levels, a robust waterproofing solution was
required," explains Ariel Stipelman,
Country Manager of Penetron Argentina. "We worked with the
consulting engineers at Guillermo Sambresqui to provide an optimal
concrete waterproofing solution for the below-grade parking
garage."
Specification of the Penetron System comprised a range of
waterproofing products. PENETRON ADMIX, a crystalline waterproofing
admixture, was added to the concrete mix for the underground
parking garage. PENEBAR SW swellable waterstop strips were
installed to permanently seal the construction joints. Finally, a
topical application of PENETRON, a crystalline waterproofing
material, was applied to existing concrete surfaces.
Easily mixed in during batching and unaffected by climatic
conditions, PENETRON ADMIX quickly becomes an integral part of the
concrete and lasts for the service life of the concrete. Once
applied to prepared concrete surfaces, PENETRON provides the same
self-healing capabilities as PENETRON ADMIX-treated concrete. Any
hairline cracks that form in the concrete will now permanently
self-heal when exposed to moisture.
"By choosing the Penetron System, the TRG Group, the project
developer, was also able to meet various LEED parameters for
certification," adds Ariel
Stipelman. "Park 10 Buenavista is now fully LEED certified –
and was completed on time."
