Radcrete Pacific presents: Commercial Buildings

Netherland Engenharia, Radcrete’s exclusiverepresentative in Brazil, commenced waterproofingand protection of the country’s new architecturallandmark and international site reference, theIbere Camargo Museum in Porto Alegre.

The project was coordinated by Jose Luis Canaland designed by Architect Alvaro Siza andEngineer Jorge de Silva of GOP Portugal. It alsowon Arq. Siza the Golden Lion award at the 2002Venice Architecture Biennial.

Radcrete global network played a key role in thespecification of Radcon for this site; it was NunoGuimaraes, Radcrete’s representative in Portugalwho was responsible.

The building’s pure white facades were designedas a 45mpa concrete but reached as high as60mpa. Being located on the Guaiba River itrequired protection against chloride ingress &chemicals due to the heavy traffic in the area.

Radcon will also protect the construction from dustand resist staining from graffiti, which significantlyreduces the maintenance and cleaning costs.

The Museum will exhibit more than 4000 works byIbere Camargo alone, as well as featuringnumerous Brazilian and international artists.

A plan for a broad program of activities in the field ofmodern and contemporary art is also under way.

The facilities will include 9 exhibition rooms, an etchingstudio, a multi-use studio, an auditorium, a researchand information centre, an atrium, a bookshop, a caféand underground parking.

We will be bringing you more details on this interestingproject as the application works progress.

FIGURE 1.Salt water aquarium in the Mega Commercial Centre in Kaunas.

Launching new territory - LithuaniaThe new MEGA Commercial Centre is conveniently located in the very heart of Lithuania, the Vilnius - Klaipeda highway running through the city of Kaunas.

This historical city dating back to the 10th century AD is an important cultural and economical centre where rapid growth and a skilled workforce led to the need for this retail / leisure facility.

This huge shopping and leisure center is the largest shopping complex in the Baltic countries, spaning across an area of 72.000 sq mtrs.

A 50 million Euro project responded to a big demand for retail premises in Lithuania which is behind the European average consumption levels due to the lack of retail facilities. This is despite of being one of the fastest growing economies in the EU.

The Plant room floor adjacent to the giant salt water aquarium (figure 1.) was waterproofed and protected with RADCON Formula #7, mainly to contain any leaks or spillages of liquids and fluids from faulty tanks.

Specifiers paid special attention to characteristics such as resistance to chemicals and surface hardness where RADCON #7, once again, exceeded any other waterproofing products presented to the specifiers.

representative Smartech Structure Protection

As part of the refurbishment program, Express Polymers, Inc. (Smartech’s regional representative in the US northeast) was successful in having RADCON Formula #7 specified for waterproofing and protection of the top deck of this car park structure in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The structure, considering it is some 20­years old, was in relatively good condition with no cracking evident of any note.

Prior to the RADCON Formula #7 application spalling and patch repairs were undertaken to the deck.

Radcrete Pacific presents: Trafficable Areas

This application was interesting in a number of ways; 1) The specification went down to the wire against an industry competitor. Express Polymers' principal, Nelson Tonet, P.E., was able to confidently present to the owners a lower cost option plus RADCON Formula #7's proven lifetime crack sealing and concrete waterproofing capability.

2) As a busy office/shopping complex car park, application could only be effected at night ­ and then only at the weekend.

4) The contractor, in addition to the easy­to­move mechanical pump and product drum caddy, used an extended boom sprayer to increase application efficiency and consistency in the low light conditions.

3) The contractor sourced a novel gas­powered mechanical pump unit with a caddy capable of holding 200­litre drums of RADCON Formula #7 providing mobility with minimal product handling.

RADCON #7 waterproofs a car park for a 600 years-old heritage structure in Czech Republic

The Imperial Mill is one of the oldest buildings recorded near the spectacular Stromovka Park in Prague, with the first chronicle record going back as far as 1395.

Because it remained the property of the Czech Kings until 1786, the original Renaissance style was redecorated a few times already, mainly in the Empire and later Classicist style.

This beautiful heritage building is receiving another ‘facelift’ today, being converted to a luxurious residential complex of centuries old walls filled with all modern day facilities and amenities.

The underground car park area of 1,700 sq mtrs was a 14 day challenge for our Czech representatives of Realsan, facing poor curing conditions and questionable mix design.

The surface needed to be first blasted, levelled out with a fast- drying cementitious gravel and then ground off using a 1 ton diamond disk (pictured left).

Prior to RADCON Formula #7 application, the area was further cleaned using a special vacuuming equipment (pictured above) and roughened as per the client’s specification.

Nevertheless, the new car park is now waterproofed and protected for lifetime, thanks to RADCON #7 and of course the expertise of our Czech colleagues.

Mr Celis, the Director of Realsan advised Radcrete that “…the concrete was poured in winter, the appropriate procedures were not followed thoroughly and there was not enough aggregate in the mix design to start with.”

FIGURE 1Radcon Formula #7 application onto a rooftoparea of the State Prison in Czech Republic.

Waterproofing of the State Prison rooftop in Minkovice - CzechRepublic wasn’t an easy task.

The area has been previously treated with variouswaterproofing and water repellent products without success.

Firstly, the structure could not hold additional weight load,such as concrete topping required when using traditionalbituminous membranes.

Secondly, there was a ponding problem, most likelyresponsible for hasty failures of the previous waterproofingsolutions.

Mr. Petr Celis, the managing director of RealSan, wasconfident that Radcon applied to grooved surface will solve theproblem once and for all.

The rooftop was first grooved to ensure a fall line which maydrain any excess water (as shown in figure 2 & 3) then RadconFormula #7 was spray-applied to the exposed area.

Radcon’s waterproofing performance was proven shortly afterapplication by a successful pond test and this “problematic”area became yet another lifetime concrete waterproofingreference in Czech Republic.

A new bridge was designed to aid the growing trafficissues on route between a popular spa resort KarlovyVary and the capital city Prague, in Czech Republic.

Prior to it’s opening it was rejected by the client - theDepartment of Transport Czech Republic, due to newcracks appearing around the drainage areas.

The developer, company San Green, approachedRadcon Formula #7 representatives in the Czechregion Realsan for assistance.

Petr deployed customised application of RadconFormula #7 - a “brush injection” and achieved thedesired 100% watertight result.

In his email to Radcrete he concluded that given hislong-term career in the construction industry he couldn’trecommend or even source any waterproofingsolution for both these projects other than RadconFormula #7.

Dear Petr,

Thank you for the site stories vis rooftop and bridgeapplication.

You are right; the prison roof could only be donewith Radcon due to ponding problems combined withweight loading problems if a topping had to beapplied over a traditional membrane approach.

From the photos of the bridge application there is noevidence of these 2.00 mm cracks referred toalthough I have no doubts they existed.

With cracks of this size, to my mind certain areas ofthe bridge must be settling.

This settlement may be complete or continue,causing 2.00 mm cracks to open further beyondRadcon’s ability to re-seal, lets hope not.

With the application works progressing, our Brazilian colleagues - Netherland Engenharia and their clientIbere Camargo Foundation & Construcoes e Comercio Camargo Correa completed some very interestingtesting on RADCON's protection performance against graffiti.

The stunning visual impact of the building is threatened by graffiti – a common problem all over theworld.

The client not only feared the permanent marking and damage to the structure but also the enormouscleaning and maintenance costs.

Six different treatments were tested using the same specially formulated paint remover onall areas.

Nelson, a 40-year industry veteran, actively markets and promotes RADCON Formula #7 in a number of states including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, New York State, Maryland and Delaware.

As with most states in the US, road transportation infrastructure is a huge undertaking and for the authority in Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), this is no exception.

Pennsylvania says it expects to spend about $400 million alone in 2006 on bridge repair and replacement work. But, even at that level of spending, it could take 15 to 20 years to fix all of the state’s older bridges.

Over recent months, Nelson has presented RADCON Formula #7 at industry-specific trade shows.
