Storage King in Gregory Hills NSW is a new State of the Art Storage Facility. This project was designed to meet the growing demand for self-storage solutions in the Southwest of Sydney consisting of four levels with a range of unit sizes- from small lockers to large garage sized units. One of the key features of the project was leveraging advanced technology to provide customers with a convenient and secure storage experience.

Penetron Australia was chosen for its perfect “Penetron Lift Pit System” consisting of Penetron Admix, Penebar SW waterstop, Penecrete Mortar, Penetron and Blockseal. The Penetron products installed in this scope offered our client a complete system with all products combining to ensure our client peace of mind and long-term protection of the below ground structures for many years to come.

ZONE 1901 The Borough is an industrial development consisting of 53 factory warehouses. This unique two storey development provides high end finishes to both external and internal elements consisting of work pod style warehouses as well larger warehouse spaces with mezzanines. An extension to The Borough is the Industrial Quarter, a single level 27 warehouse unit complex.

Design:
Our Penetron products were specified into the project by structural engineers Henry & Hymas, designing the use of both Penetron Admix and Peneseal PRO to the exposed concrete on the suspended slab above office and warehouse space. In dialogue with waterproofing consultants, Waterproofing Integrity and the builder, we proposed a construction joint detail utilising both Penebar SW55 Type B swellable waterstop and Hydrostop CB200 cast-in PVC for all construction joints of the suspended slab.

Application:
We installed waterstops prior to the delivery of ready-mix concrete with Penetron Admix to site by Hymix. After initial cure, we identified some cracking. It was concluded that this was due to lateral restraint, the pull from both outside slabs. Fortunately, Penetron Admix was in the mix and the self-healing of the concrete began to take place. Once the build was near complete and the slab ready to be sealed.

The concrete was cleaned and prepared for our post pour application of Peneseal PRO. When sprayed onto a thoroughly cleansed concrete surface, Peneseal PRO will react with the concrete to form a sub-surface gel. This gel seals the pores, capillaries and cracks. As long as water is present, the product will remain active and seal future hairline cracks. Once the application was complete, the flooding process was undertaken. Where persistent leaks were identified, we treated them locally with a second dose of  Peneseal PRO.

Additional products:
Our Penetron system was also used in the OSD tank utilising Penetron Admix and Penebar SW55 to construction joints. Industrial SL was used to remediate external concrete sections.

We treated the trafficable external driveways of the Industrial Quarter with Peneseal FH-PS to provide a long-standing abrasion and slip-resistant surface.

Result:
After initial apprehension to the potency of Peneseal PRO and our complete system, builders Trescon can testify to the power and performance of the Penetron system.

Testimonial:
“I have been using Penetron products & systems for many years. They have proved effective throughout this project. Particularly the Penetron Admix and Peneseal PRO combination to our suspended trafficable slab. Would definitely use again.”

Design and construction of a 3,500m2 high-bay industrial facility on the Central Coast of NSW, which caters for a specialist paint-line production plant and warehouse capability for Wideline Windows.

Stevens Construction is synonymous with meticulous safety, proficient selection of materials, and excellent construction and quality control processes. As well as expertise from specialists in design, planning, engineering and construction management, every Stevens’ build features the hands-on skill of the working directors to create the hallmark of Stevens Construction – a high-quality, on-time build. With this in mind, negotiations started with Penetron Australia to provide a permanent, penetrating sealer to the concrete that will provide a long-term protected surface for the client.

Peneseal FH is a clear, reactive penetrating sealer designed to permanently protect, preserve and strengthen concrete and masonry building materials. PENESEAL FH penetrates deep into concrete surfaces and reacts with the elemental concrete ingredients to solidify them into a harder, denser, stronger concrete mass. Alkali salts and minerals are flushed out in the process, eliminating efflorescence and leaching, and increasing bonding of surface coatings.

Penetron Australia worked closely with Stevens Construction and applicators, Cut ‘n’ Seal, to co-ordinate the install of Peneseal FH on time and to specification.

Principal Contractor: Stevens Construction
