In view of the increment of many civil engineering works of top level, including large dams, bridges and hydraulic structures, and for obtain the coefficient of permeability in concretes, LEMIT has tested a permeability equipment, the first one operating in this country. Results are given related to different types of concretes. According to them, it is possible to determine the more convenient water/cement ratio, the types of cement and the use of additives for the obtention of a low coefficient of permeability. Bibliographic references are given.
