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.

Drahonice Reservoir

Drahonice, Czech Republic

The objective of the Drahonice Reservoir project was to effectively seal construction joints within a newly constructed concrete water reservoir. Completed in 1994 in Drahonice, Czech Republic, the project encompassed two reservoirs, each with a capacity of 5000 m3. The project used Xypex Concentrate to address the sealing needs. Applying Xypex products effectively provided a comprehensive seal at construction joints, permanently preventing leaks.
