When Elad Properties set out to build the world’s only paparazzi-proof condominiums for the most elite residents, they knew their high profile project had to shine. Home to Bruce Willis and Larry King among others, the 24 storey building included 78 private condominiums with price points beginning at $2.9 million and penthouses ranging from $12 million to $15 million. The building incorporates several unique features that would keep residents hidden from snooping eyes and camera lenses. For instance, the crescent shape of the building disrupted lines of vision, allowing each unit to feel remote and private. If trespassers would be able to get passed the Israeli-trained VIP security guards, the cutting-edge weight sensing technology would ensure they would be apprehended. The 4 level parking structure is equipped with a modern elevator system that leads owners to their respective suites without so much as a single hallway. However, its placement above an active aquifer challenged the architects and their design concept.
In order to deliver a building that encompassed innovation, security and durability, the project stakeholders collectively choose to waterproof every portion of the below grade areas with Kryton International Inc.’s waterproofing systems. The parking structure that held the elaborate elevator system would be constructed by shotcrete eliminating conventional membranes as a waterproofing option. The walls used Kryton’s Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM), and the slab and wall joints used the Krystol Waterstop System. Control cracks were intentionally implemented, as concrete typically cracks during the curing process, and those were addressed using Kryton’s crack repair system. When addressing all tie-holes and beam pockets, Kryton’s detailed application instructions were helpful in safeguarding those areas.
Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) is a hydrophilic crystalline admixture used to create permanently waterproof concrete.
Krystol T1 is a surface applied crystalline slurry treatment that transforms new or existing concrete into a permanent waterproofing barrier.
Krystol Waterstop Grout is a crystalline grout used to create an internal or external waterstop at construction joints, pipe penetrations, tie-holes and control joints.
Krystol Waterstop Treatment is a cementitious crystalline slurry that is applied to horizontal and vertical construction joints to provide additional waterproofing protection, and protect rebar from corrosion.
As part of the Krystol Leak Repair System, Krystol Plug is a rapid-setting hydraulic cement product that when mixed with water is used to stop flowing water and repair leaking cracks, holes and joints in concrete.
Krytonite Swelling Waterstop is a synthetic rubber waterstop that uses swelling pressure to seal concrete construction joints and stop water.
Kryton’s Crack Inducing Waterstop is specially engineered to produce a waterproof crack control joint.
The Krystol Leak Repair System is a permanent crystalline waterproofing solution used for repairing leaking cracks, holes and joints found in concrete. It reliably stops high water flow, even under high-hydrostatic pressure, and outperforms injection systems. Repairing leaks is a simple 3-step process that involves…
