By MGN EditorialSeptember 5, 2026 at 12:00 PM

Concrete waterproofing specialist Penetron has appointed Sean Allison as Specifications Developer for the Midwest and Central USA, strengthening its engineering support capabilities for infrastructure projects in the region.

## Penetron Strengthens Regional Presence with New Specifications Developer Appointment Concrete waterproofing solutions provider Penetron has bolstered its technical and sales support network across the Midwest and Central United States with the appointment of Sean Allison as Specifications Developer, the company announced on August 24, 2026. According to a PR Newswire release, the appointment is designed to enhance Penetron's Engineering Support team's capacity to work directly with architects, engineers, and construction professionals on infrastructure projects throughout the region. Penetron's crystalline waterproofing technology is widely used in below-grade and water-retaining concrete structures, including marine and port infrastructure applications such as dry docks, seawalls, jetties, and waterfront facilities. The company's products are specified in projects where long-term concrete durability and water ingress prevention are critical performance requirements. The expansion of Penetron's regional support team reflects broader industry demand for specialist technical guidance as infrastructure investment continues to grow across the United States. The Midwest and Central regions encompass significant inland waterway infrastructure, including lock and dam systems, river terminals, and port facilities along the Mississippi River corridor — all of which rely on durable, waterproofed concrete construction. Allison's role as Specifications Developer will focus on working with design professionals early in the project lifecycle to ensure Penetron's systems are correctly specified and applied, a function that is particularly important in complex marine and civil engineering environments where material performance is subject to demanding conditions. The appointment reflects a growing trend among construction materials suppliers to invest in dedicated technical sales personnel who can bridge the gap between product capability and project specification, ensuring that engineers and designers have access to expert guidance during the design phase. *Source: PR Newswire / Penetron*
