Dams & Irrigation

The structural integrity of concrete dams and irrigation structures depends on the protection of steel reinforcement from corrosion. Inadequate waterproofing, cracking, joint failure, chemical attack, alkali aggregate reaction and abrasion are problems that will result in the deterioration of concrete. In the short term this can lead to water loss, reduction in water flow and unplanned maintenance costs.

Marine Structures

Reinforced concrete marine structures are constantly under attack by the destructive effects of moisture and chloride-induced corrosion. Without proper protection, the structural integrity of a marine structure is soon compromised, leading to expensive remediation efforts and a shortened life span.

General Construction Foundations

The structural integrity of building foundations, whether deep or shallow, can be seriously compromised by hydrostatic pressure and water leakages associated with high water tables. Xypex’s non-toxic Crystalline Technology protects thousands of foundations worldwide.

Tunnels

Due to their very nature and location, tunnels can be seriously compromised by hydrostatic pressure and water leakages associated with high water tables. Xypex has an extensive track record in the waterproofing and protection of tunnels.

Water Treatment Plants

The structural integrity of holding tanks in water treatment plants depends entirely on the protection of steel reinforcement from corrosion. Xypex has extensive experience in the waterproofing and protection of municipal infrastructure, and is recognized as a key player in the water treatment industry.

Bridges

Reinforced concrete bridges are constantly under attack by the destructive effects of moisture and chloride-induced corrosion. Without proper protection, the structural integrity of a bridge is soon compromised, leading to expensive remediation efforts and a shortened life span.

Wastewater Collection & Treatment

Microbial induced corrosion and water infiltration are the two major problems common to sewage collection and wastewater treatment structures. Our Xypex Crystalline Technology has been proven in rehabilitated as well as new sewage and wastewater treatment structures and is considered the best at handling chemical attack in severe biochemical conditions and resisting water infiltration even under extreme hydrostatic pressure.

Power & Utilities

Due to their very nature, concrete power and utility structures can be seriously compromised by hydrostatic pressure and chemical attack. Without proper protection, structural integrity is soon compromised, leading to expensive remediation efforts and a shortened life span.

Industrial Structures

Industrial concrete structures are constantly exposed to hydrostatic pressure, sulphates, chlorides, and other aggressive chemicals. Without proper protection, the structural integrity of the concrete is soon compromised, leading to expensive remediation efforts and a shortened life span.
