Dam & Irrigation
Preserving Structural Integrity of Dams
The long-term structural integrity of dams and irrigation systems depends on keeping moisture from contacting the steel reinforcement. Inadequate waterproofing, cracks, failing joints, biochemical attacks, alkali aggregate reaction and abrasion are problems often found in this challenging environment.
Deteriorating concrete can lead to water loss, reduction in water flow and expensive unplanned maintenance. Failing or compromised dams and irrigation systems can even threaten public safety and environmental quality, so it is critical to protect and maintain them. Whether specified for new construction, or used for repairing and rehabilitating dams and irrigation systems, Xypex Crystalline Technology blocks water ingress into the structure and extends the life of these critical structures.

Heracles Lafarge Holcim Cement Plant
The Heracles – LafargeHolcim cement plant, located in Euboea, Greece, required a critical restoration of its Cement Silo 720. Due to its immediate proximity to the sea, the silo’s outer shell had suffered significant deterioration caused by continuous exposure to high humidity and sea-water fogging.
Yangtze-to-Huaihe Water Diversion
The Yangtze-to-Huaihe Water Diversion Project (YHWD) is a large-scale inter-basin water conservancy program designed to transfer water from the Yangtze River system northward to support urban and rural water supply, inland navigation, irrigation replenishment, and ecological improvement across Anhui Province.
Bai Xi Reservoir Spillway Rehabilitation
The Bai Xi Reservoir spillway had experienced progressive surface deterioration, cracking, and water infiltration due to long-term exposure to flowing water, weathering, and operational stress. Visible cracking—ranging from fine surface cracks to wider structural cracks exceeding 0.2 mm, raised concerns regarding durability, watertightness, and long-term serviceability of the spillway structure.
