KRYSTOLTM CONCRETE WATERPROOFING SYSTEM
Park Hyatt Hotel
Below-Grade Parking Structure
Melbourne, Australia
BACKGROUND
The complex at Cathedral Place has five (5) levels of underground parking. The structure was designed to extend to each of the site boundaries and conventional tanking of the building could not be considered. The use of KIM™ concrete for tanking the building allowed maximum use of the available site as the concrete was placed directly against the excavation wall and no other waterproofing method was necessary.
SOLUTION
In 1997, construction began with 2400m3 of KIM™ concrete requiring 12,000 kgs of KIM™. The application has been inspected each year and the parking structure remains completely dry.
