General Construction Foundation
Deichtorhallen
Hamburg,
Germany
Situated on the outskirts of the Hamburg dockside, the Deichtorhallen is one of the city’s most famous landmarks. The basement is a storage area for paintings, photographs and other highly sensitive art objects. Because of the proximity of the buildings to the seaside, humidity and water penetration became a problem in this over 100-year-old structure. Water was penetrating through the foundation slab and through cracks in the wall to such a degree that cracks formed in the interior zone. Xypex Concentrate, Modified, Patch'n Plug and Quickset were used successfully to address the problem. Upon further review, the basement is once again a dry storage area for art collections.
