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.

East Primary Pump Station
Athens Utilities completed construction of the East Primary Pump Station to support wastewater conveyance and system reliability for the City of Athens. During project evaluation, the owner identified low velocity sewer flow as a contributing factor to the generation of hydrogen sulfide posing the risk of microbial induced corrosion.
Southwest Regional Chilled Water Plant
Michigan State University constructed the Southwest Regional Chilled Water Plant to expand campus cooling capacity and support long-term infrastructure planning under the University’s Vision 2050 integrated facilities and land use plan.
STM Centre de Transport Bellechasse
The Société de transport de Montréal undertook rehabilitation work at the Centre de transport Bellechasse as part of ongoing upgrades to critical transit infrastructure. The project included the repair and waterproofing of a stairwell structure associated with parking and operational facilities serving the transit network.
Amarillo Osage Water Treatment Plant
The City of Amarillo initiated rehabilitation work at the Osage Water Treatment Plant to extend the service life of existing concrete structures within the facility. The scope of work included waterproofing the east settling basin interior walls, internal concrete structures, and floor areas beneath effluent structures.
BNR UV Improvements
The City of Wichita is undertaking upgrades to its wastewater treatment facility to improve biological nutrient removal (BNR) capacity and expand ultraviolet disinfection infrastructure. The project includes construction of new wastewater process basins and supporting treatment structures.
