Article: Protecting Concrete in Harsh Environments

Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC) is one of the most significant threats to wastewater infrastructure, causing concrete deterioration, costly repairs, and reduced service life. Xypex Bio-San helps defend concrete against sulfuric acid attack, MIC, and other aggressive chemical exposures. By protecting concrete from within, this innovative solution reduces deterioration, lowers maintenance requirements, and extends the service life of critical infrastructure. Read more to learn how Xypex Bio-San is helping projects achieve lasting performance and protection.

North America Project: Alley 111 Apartments

Alley 111 is a high-rise building offering both residential and commercial spaces in Bellevue, Washington. This innovative design featured a water-retention vault that repurposes and stores stormwater, underscoring the project’s commitment to sustainability and responsible water management. Xypex Admix C-500 works from within the concrete itself, forming a permanent, non-soluble matrix that resists water penetration and enhances the structure’s durability against hydrostatic pressure and chemical corrosion.
