The multi-story parking station for the Sydney Adventist Hospital in Wahroonga, relieves a capacity bottle-neck. PENETRON technology was used to ensure a durable concrete structure and sealed, abrasion-resistant surfaces throughout the structure.The Sydney Adventist Hospital opened in 1903 as a Sanitarium to provide a place of healing. Since then, it has been affectionately known as the San. Now a world-class medical facility, the San offers comprehensive surgical, medical, and emergency services to more than 53,000 inpatients and 180,000 outpatients each year.
A key component of the San Hospital’s redevelopment project, the new multi-deck car park provides parking for almost 900 cars. The automated parking system also provides increased space for parking and enhanced on-site security for patients, visitors, doctors and staff.
“We’ve used the PENETRON System very successfully in a number of parking facilities,” notes Jozef Van Beeck, Director, PENETRON International Sales & Marketing. “It’s an optimal solution for both above- and below-ground designs, especially where there is any question of a high water table or exposure to the environment.”
“Our PENESEAL FH sealer penetrates deep into surfaces and reacts with the concrete ingredients to solidify them into a harder, denser, stronger concrete,” adds Mr. Van Beeck. “This gives the concrete a higher surface abrasion resistance and compressive strength, which can be particularly important during the construction phase.”
Areas Treated: Penetron Admix was used to treat all concrete used in the ground floor structure and the roof slab of the multi-floor parking garage to secure impermeability of the most exposed structural elements. Penebar SW45 waterstop was used to seal the resulting construction joints in the new concrete.
Peneseal FH, a clear, reactive penetrating sealer that permanently protects, preserves and strengthens concrete, was applied to all new concrete surfaces – a total area of over 20,000 m2 – for high durability.

Brookvale Community Health Centre is this high-profile project that emphasises ADCO’s in conjunction with its partners innovative approach and outstanding reputation in health and government sectors in both NSW and nationally.
The five-storey design integrates mental health, drug and alcohol services, multicultural, rehabilitation, aged care services and more. The scope of work also included a seven-storey car park accommodating 475 vehicles.
From inception to completion, BIM technology was used throughout to represent, integrate and fulfill the exacting design and construct delivery model and schedule.
The Yeppoon Multi-Level shopping centre Carpark required our assistance to deliver a long term durable and sustainable solution that ensured complete and effective waterproofing for the most critical areas on these projects.
Penetron had treated the roof slab with its post-applied penetrating waterproofing product Peneseal PRO RTU. The Yeppoon Multi-Level shopping centre carpark owner has something to be proud of.
Regardless of the scale of the carpark, we are able to help you choose the right concrete waterproofing system that will remain durable, and protected for many years to come. We can guarantee that Penetron can extend the lifetime of your concrete and asset, plus save time and money in both the short and long term.
Woolworths and Multi Level Car Park: The new Woolworths on the corner of Alexander and Falcon Streets, Crows Nest, is open for business 7am – 10pm, 7 days a week. It is a stunning piece of modern architecture.
Construction work on the joint redevelopment of Woolworths and the Alexander St Carpark in Crows Nest began in early May 2014 and celebrated its first day of trading on 28 April 2016.
The new $52 million retail development has doubled the size of the supermarket, increased parking from 130 to 280 spaces and provided five new specialty retail stores.
With 3,900sqm of floor space, the new Woolworths is the first full-range supermarket in Crows Nest.
Areas treated: Penetron Admix was considered to waterproof and provide durability to the basement lift pits, OSD tank and goods lift. P1 carpark as it sits right over the supermarket and retail area. And the P4 car park roof to provide protection to the levels below.
Penebar SW was considered to seal the construction joints in the basement works and between pour breaks.
Peneseal FH was considered to aid in curing and permanently seal all four levels of carpark.
Penetron Australia, in conjunction with Stevens construction and Calibre Consulting concluded that the Penetron system of Penetron Admix, Penebar SW and Peneseal FH was deemed as the best solution to protect the valuable concrete asset long term.
Pacific Fair. Work commenced in January 2014 on redeveloping and re-branding Pacific Fair. The development, costing $670 million, will allow for 120 new specialty stores that will span two levels and cover 14,500 m2 (156,000 sq ft). The project also catering for approximately 6,500 car spaces in various multi-level carparks. Work was completed in April 2016.
The Shoalhaven Hospital Multideck carpark features a stunning facade inspired by the colours and landscape art of Shoalhaven luminary Arthur Boyd. The carpark provides over 300 much needed new carparking spaces whilst visually integrating into the hospitals masterplan.
The project was conceived due to an acute need of additional carparking and a requirement for improvement of hospital access.
