DYWIDAG Concrete Technologies

💪 Strong Foundations for Life‑Saving Infrastructure from DYWIDAG. Hospitals belong to the most demanding category of critical infrastructure. Here, structural failure, water ingress or long‑term degradation are not acceptable risks — because lives depend on uninterrupted operation. The Lower Silesian Oncology and Chemotherapy Center in Wrocław is the largest healthcare investment in the region’s history, with over 100,000 m² of usable hospital space and one of the biggest hospital investment in Europe. From a structural perspective, this scale leaves no margin for error — especially below ground. As highlighted in the project footage, this scale begins underground. Up to 12 METERS of BELOW-GRADE STRUCTURES require uncompromising basement protection to safeguard critical medical functions above. That is why high‑quality sealing, controlled cracking and permanent formwork systems are fundamental — not optional. This project is particularly important to us — not only because of its scale, but because it represents a fully integrated, custom‑designed system of permanent formwork RECOSTAL® and sealing solutions CONTEC®, combining: - Permanent Formwork RECOSTAL® 2000 GTF - Permanent Formwork RECOSTAL® 1000 F - Metal waterstop CONTEC® - contaflexACTIV® MSA 150 & contaflexACTIV® ACF 165 - Bentonite-based waterproofing membrane Voltex - Dylatation tape AD Not only was a full system applied, but it was individually engineered to meet the specific structural and execution requirements of PORR Polska, differing from our standard solutions. 🔔 Why was the CONTEC® system essential? - 100,000 m² of usable space requires complete basement protection - 12 m depth below ground level means high hydrostatic pressure from groundwater - Permanent, watertight structural connections were mandatory CONTEC® ensures full watertightness of the reinforced concrete structure, resistance to water pressure and full compatibility with lost formwork systems. Special recognition goes to two DYWIDAG experts: 👏 GRZEGORZ LECH, who coordinated the project on behalf of DYWIDAG Concrete Technologies 👏 Łukasz Górnik, who prepared the dedicated concept and technical design of the system for construction joints and waterproofing of the reinforced concrete structure, tailored specifically to PORR’s requirements Our sincere thanks to PORR Polska for providing the video material and for their role as general contractor, and to CETCO for the strong cooperation on waterproofing solutions. When you are building for decades ahead — and for lives that depend on it — there is no room for compromise. #DYWIDAG #StructuralSafety #CriticalInfrastructure #HealthcareConstruction #ConcreteTechnology #Hospitals #Engineering #PORR #Efficiency
