This tunnel in the state of Santa Catarina provides much-needed additional heavy freight capacity on the BR-101 highway, a major north-south axis for the country's transport network. The highway is 4,500 km (2,800 miles) long and crosses 12 states from northern to southern Brazil. The Morro do Formigão Tunnel is located on the south side of the highway and is an important link between Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
Products used
To improve the watertightness of the concrete walls and the tunnel drainage system against water penetration, more than 16 tons of PENETRON ADMIX were mixed into the concrete at the concrete plant.
