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.

Promenade Samuel-de- Champlain Phase 3
As part of the Phase 3 redevelopment of the Promenade Samuel-De Champlain Phase 3 along the St. Lawrence River, the Beach Station features a public swimming pool designed to reconnect the community with its waterfront heritage. To meet the high-performance expectations, Groupe Deric SIÈGE SOCIAL, the appointed contractor, strategically selected Xypex Concentrate for the construction and integral waterproofing of the swimming pool.
Persigo WTP Expansion
The City of Grand Junction, in partnership with Mesa County, has initiated Phase 1 of the Persigo Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion—an important step in enhancing water quality, safety, and environmental sustainability. This upgrade introduces new screening processes, advanced electrical systems, expanded biosolids storage, and improved aeration and disinfection systems, modernizing the facility to meet growing community needs.
Centre de traitement des boues – Etchemins
The project to renovate the regional septic tank sludge treatment center of the MRC des Etchemins, a facility located in Sainte-Germaine-Station, moved forward with the upgrade, which will also increase its treatment capacity. Xypex Bio-San was crucial in increasing durability, enhancing sustainability, and fortifying the plant against long-term wear.
Travaux de reconstruction du poste de pompage Quarante-Arpents II Terrebonne
The City of Terrebonne, Quebec, undertook a critical infrastructure modernization initiative, constructing a new water treatment plant to enhance water quality. The new water treatment plant required a long-term solution against harsh sewage conditions with high levels of H2S. Xypex Bio-San is a uniquely designed admixture for integral, long-term concrete protection in harsh sewage conditions with levels of H2S that cause microbial-induced corrosion (MIC).
Niwot Sanitation Station (Headworks Building)
Built in 1967, the original wastewater treatment plant faced mounting challenges due to aging infrastructure and increasingly stringent federal discharge regulations. Significant upgrades were necessary to meet new environmental standards and ensure compliance with updated permits, requiring enhanced treatment processes to safeguard local waterways.
