Designed by 3 Cincuentayuno Luxury Pools, the Arboledas pool at the Club de Golf La Hacienda in Atizapan de Zaragoza, M茅xico, welcomed club members to the new facility in March 2019. The exclusive aquatic architects specified to ensure a durable and waterproof pool structure and deck.
3 Cincuentayuno Luxury Pools is an architectural pool company based in Monterrey, M茅xico. This team of specialized architects focuses on the design and construction of 鈥渁quatic spaces鈥 as architectural and ornamental elements. Each pool is unique, and the company manages all aspects of the project, from design to construction, to ensure a consistently high level of build quality. The range of designs include:
- Residential pools, both standard and custom designs
- Commercial swimming pools
- Olympic-size pools
To provide the necessary strength and durability, the concrete for these exclusive pool structures is treated with . Added to the concrete mix during the batching phase, the crystalline admixture ensures a completely waterproof concrete matrix.
Looking for Reliability and High Performance
鈥淏ecause quality is such an important part of every 3 Cincuentayuno project, the designers insist on the best technology and materials to ensure reliability and a high level of performance,鈥 explains Alejandro Muci帽o, Managing Director of Penetron M茅xico. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 why the Penetron System is part of every 3 Cincuentayuno design today.鈥
This summer, Penetron M茅xico helped 3 Cincuentayuno complete the Arboledas project, a large, L-shaped pool design (12 x 6/2 m) at the Club de Golf La Hacienda in Atizapan de Zaragoza, located in the M茅xico City metropolitan area.
鈥淭he design of this project was a perfect combination of water and light,鈥 adds Alejandro Muci帽o. 鈥淭he aquatic space is perfectly integrated into its surroundings 鈥 with a wrap-around concrete pool deck.鈥
Creating an Impermeable Crystalline Network
After careful review of the technical parameters of the Arboledas project, the 3 Cincuentayuno project engineers specified Penetron crystalline technology, including PENETRON ADMIX, swellable waterstop, and topical applications of , and .
Once PENETRON ADMIX is added to the mix, it reacts with the water in the concrete. The resulting impermeable crystalline network becomes an integral part of the concrete matrix.
鈥淥ne of the key benefits of PENETRON ADMIX is the ability to self-heal hairline cracks,鈥 adds Jozef Van Beeck, International Marketing & Sales Manager for Penetron International. 鈥淲here chloride-laden water could enter through cracks and penetrate deeply into concrete, PENETRON ADMIX stops any damage from occurring 鈥 for the life of the concrete.鈥
Admixture Best for Reducing Permeability
As described in 鈥淩eport on Chemical Admixtures for Concrete鈥 published by the American Concrete Institute (ACI), 鈥減ermeability-reducing admixtures for hydrostatic conditions (PRAHs),鈥 i.e. crystalline admixtures like PENETRON ADMIX resist water penetration against hydrostatic pressure and have proven to be the most effective PRAH products with clear advantages over hydrophobic materials based on other mechanisms or ingredients.
鈥淭he Arboledas concrete pool structures are completely clean and dry,鈥 adds Alejandro Muci帽o. 鈥淧enetron technology, which is used in residential and competitive swimming pools around the world, performed flawlessly on this project, as expected.鈥
鈥淥ver the years, pools, aquariums and aquatic facilities have become something of a specialty for Penetron,鈥 adds Jozef Van Beeck. 鈥淧rojects like Arboledas in M茅xico are ideal applications that demand the durability of Penetron crystalline technology.鈥
