Penetron Admix Ensures Durability for Arena Apartments on Newcastle Beach
The Arena Apartments, an impressive coastal development on Shortland Esplanade, Newcastle Beach, exemplifies innovative urban living. Designed by DWP Suters and constructed by Richard Crookes Constructions, the project features two modern buildings with sweeping views of the ocean.
The south building, completed in March 2016, offers 55 one- and two-bedroom apartments with basement parking. The north building, finished in October 2017, includes 165 apartments ranging from one to four bedrooms. It also integrates ground-floor hospitality and commercial spaces and basement parking, making it a dynamic hub of both residential and commercial activity.
Given the project’s coastal location and exposure to saltwater and harsh environmental conditions, Penetron Admix was chosen as the superior waterproofing solution. The roof slab and podium slab of the structure was treated with Penetron Admix to extend the service life of the concrete by preventing water ingress and minimizing chemical damage from the marine environment.
Penetron Admix’s proven ability to enhance concrete durability ensures that the Arena Apartments will maintain their structural integrity for decades, offering a resilient and sustainable foundation for beachfront living.
