The SAP laboratories building was renovated in December 2015. Several ALCHIMICA products (such as HYPERDESMO-Classic, HYPERDESMO-T HYPERSEAL-25LM-S, etc.) have been used for applications over concrete, old bitumen membranes and granite tiles.

One of the greatest projects in the railway industry which connects two beautiful and historic cities, Barcelona and Paris, is the high-speed train that was launched in 2013. The project was a joint venture between France’s state rail operator SNCF and its Spanish state rail operator Renfe. Since then, the TGV which is one of the highest speed trains in the world, along with the Spanish ones run between the French capital and the Catalan city each day.
Project Requirements
The fast train line Paris-Barcelona project included several cut and cover tunnels in domestic areas. In that type of application, external below ground waterproofing is paramount for the long-term stability of the concrete structures
Considering structural waterproofing and especially tunnel applications, the waterproofing systems must be sustainable and deal with severe strict requirements for both the internal and external surface environments. The long – term durability of the structures is directly related with a water tightness plan to prevent water ingress and the deterioration of concrete.
External waterproofing systems must seal and secure the concrete and ensure the stability and longevity of the construction by minimizing future maintenance expenses. In tunnels the correct application of a waterproofing system is imperative, since performing repairs comes with a very high cost and effort. Without waterproofing, water penetration can cause structure destruction and concrete corrosion which means future intervention, increasing the maintenance costs. Thus, the long-term durability of the tunnel structure is related to a water-tightness plan that considers high quality waterproofing products.
ALCHIMICA SOLUTIONS
ALCHIMICA’s external below ground waterproofing and protection system based on HYPERDESMO®-PB-2K meets all the necessary requirements of engineers and architects for waterproofing specific demanding areas. Our complete range of products includes highly flexible bituminous liquid membranes which are designed and fully tested for structural waterproofing applications.
Taking into consideration the critical point to deal with threats as unequal static forces, water ingress, aggressive chemicals, gas penetration, external mechanical pressures, and temperature variations we used MICROSEALER-50 as a primer, HYPERDESMO®-PB-1K to treat and seal the concrete dilatation joints and then followed the application of HYPERDESMO®-PB-2K applied in a single coat at the total required thickness.

Application steps that have been followed:
This project was completed at a four-floor-165-bed hospital and it marks as a turning point in the evolution of the so called green & sustainable buildings in Mexico.
Alchimica Products have been selected and successfully applied on a total of 21,000m² surfaces by DSC México (certified service company) as follows:
This is in fact the first LEED certified public Hospital in México that includes the following green features:
20% reduction on mechanical HVAC size
Use of high quality and VOC efficient Waterproofing materials
Use of high efficiency electrical motors, plumbing fixtures and lamps
Use of Solar Panels for 30% of the heated water
14% in Energy savings
70 % in City water savings
Tertiary water treatment plant and water reuse for chillers
