The Penetron Italy team were approached to provide a waterproofing solution for an underground pedestrian tunnel, elevator shafts, and different concrete structures for the new San Martino Hospital  construction.

Each building had different requirements for waterproofing and concrete durability. In particular the subterranean tunnel required a preliminary application of PENETRON ADMIX-treated shotcrete. Shotcrete, or sprayed concrete, and is applied at high pressure on vertical or horizontal surfaces without sagging. The PENETRON ADMIX-enhanced shotcrete mixture is especially well-suited for application on curved or thin concrete structures with an internal reinforced shell. Once set, the resulting structure is completely waterproof and much more durable than untreated concrete. A final concrete form was then cast against this initial PENETRON ADMIX-treated shotcrete tunnel structure. Once the application of the Penetron products was completed, the dry surfaces of the treated concrete structures stopped any groundwater.
