# Fortified Water Storage Tanks The Penetron Group Waterproofs and Repairs Eurolamp’s Logistics Hub By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-08-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eurolamps-logistics-hub References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/penetron-strengthens-concrete-durability-for-eurolamp-water-storage-tank-in-thessaloniki-greece-302853066.html)  The Penetron Group provided a comprehensive waterproofing and repair system for the [primary water storage tank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bird-mammal-shelter) at Eurolamp’s logistics hub in Thessaloniki, Greece, addressing significant deterioration that had arisen from an unsuitable concrete mixture in a relatively new structure. The solution employed at Eurolamp’s logistics hub is known as the Penetron System and it involves a multi-step approach. First, [high-pressure hydro-blasting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrowhirl-poseidon) cleans the substrate and exposes flaws such as tie-rod holes, honeycombed areas, and construction joints, after which a crystalline bonding slurry is applied. This is followed by a crystalline repair mortar to fill cracks and voids, a final overlay of the crystalline material across all interior surfaces, swellable waterstop strips around pipe penetrations, and a crystalline admixture incorporated into the [replacement concrete](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braincrete) for recast sections.
