Penetron System approved for use in Ukraine
Waterproofing products help boost national construction quality
(PRWEB) July 28, 2004 -- East Setauket, New York ICS Penetron International
Ltd., a global leader in waterproofing products for major construction projects,
today announced that officials in the Ukraine, after having heard presentations
at the International Technical Conference for the Advanced Technologies of
Modern Construction held this past May in Kiev, capital of the Ukraine, have
approved the use of Penetron products in government building projects throughout
the country..
Velichko Victor Alexandrovich, vice president of
“KievGorStroy,” a top Ukrainian Holding Company that deals in all types of
building construction, told the more-than-250 conference attendees that because
of a projected growth in construction, “The Ukraine must improve the technical
level of its construction and begin to incorporate the achievements of
scientific and technical progress in the designs of its buildings and
structures.”
“Our track record with Penetron in
this country is significant,” said Vladimir Slipachyk, president of Likon
Company, distributor of Penetron products in the Ukraine. Officials at the
conference heard detailed results of Ukrainian projects completed with the
Penetron waterproofing system, including the Kiev Underground Railway, Kiev
Underground Parkings, Rvne and Kmelnytskyi Atomic Power Plants, and the Mykolaiv
City Water canal.
Robert Revera, president of Penetron presented the
Penetron System to representatives of the State Committee on Construction and
the State Construction and Building Organizations in the Ukraine.
“We
are pleased to partner with Likon with its proven history of successfully
meeting strict Ukrainian guidelines,” said Mr. Revera. “And we are both
committed to doing our part to help the Ukraine raise the quality of its
construction across the country.”
In addition to passing State Research
Institute testing and conforming to Ukrainian standards, the Ukrainian
government requires that all imported materials must be proven to be more
efficient than products currently in use.
