The Erickson is a luxury, 20-story concrete and steel-trussed building with glass on all sides and an undulating shape that rises from the edge of False Creek in downtown Vancouver, surrounded by water on three sides. They chose Kryton’s Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) admixture in all below-grade concrete. KIM was used for the all below grade perimeter walls. In addition to the waterproof concrete, the builder also applied thousands of lineal feet of Kryton’s Krystol Waterstop System to seal the below grade construction joints, giving the joints the same level of crystalline protection that is in the concrete. The Erickson Underground Parking Vancouver, B.C, Canada The Krystol Waterproofing System eliminated any need for exterior waterproof membranes, saved time and labour costs, and ensured a guaranteed leak-free building that can proudly bear the Arthur Erickson name. Kryton’s Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) admixture was used to waterproof the base slab and perimeter walls and the Krystol Waterstop System was used for all the cold joints in the slabs and walls. The Krystol Waterproofing System saved the team thousands of dollars and shaved 48 days off their construction schedule.

Particularly given the challenges we incurred during excavation: the 12-meter (39.4 feet) cutoff wall and extreme head pressure. We required an advanced waterproofing system that could withstand all of these obstacles especially during the casting of the matt slab.” – Mr. A. Hamis Elmas, Project Manager & Architectural Consultant, Al Mashfa Group For KK Times Square the developers used Kryton’s Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) admixture, surface-applied Krystol T1 & T2, Krystol Waterstop Joint System and Krystol Crack Repair system.

Kryton takes the risk out creating durable waterproof concrete parking structures. Parking structures are different from other concrete buildings due to: • Reduced roofing, cladding, and climate control that result in a more severe direct or indirect exposure to rain, snow, sunlight, temperature variations and airborne chlorides; • Water and waterborne contaminates can cause corrosion of reinforcing steel and compromise the structural integrity of the structure; • Vehicular occupancy that imposes heavy moving loads and deposits deicing salts; • Large plan size that magnifies the potential for...
