MIAMI, FL – The $235 million project for downtown Miami's tallest office tower has opted to use durable Penetron crystalline waterproofing technology for its concrete foundation.

Located at 830 Brickell Plaza, the 57-floor tower spans 724 feet tall and encompasses 640,000 square feet of office space. As Miami's second tallest office building, the tower is tenanted by companies, such as Microsoft, Thoma Bravo, A-CAP, CI Financial, Marsh Insurance, AerCap and WeWork.

Manufacturer of specialty construction products, the Penetron Group was retained to provide a reliable and cost-effective waterproofing solution for the office tower's foundation structures. Penetron worked with the ready-mix concrete supplier Supermix to create an optimal concrete waterproofing solution for the tower's below-grade pad foundation footings and elevator pits. A swellable waterstop, PENEBAR SW-55, was installed along the construction joints and around penetrations found in the elevator pits.
