General Construction Foundation
Specified Worldwide for Foundation Waterproofing and Repair
Construction professionals know that the structural integrity of a foundation can be seriously compromised by hydrostatic pressure and leakages from groundwater. Cracking and joint failure from inadequate waterproofing leads to concrete deterioration and a downward spiral of water infiltration that could affect health and safety from mould and eventually compromise the structure of the building.
The non-toxic bonding technology perfected by Xypex resists water leakage even under extreme hydrostatic pressure. That’s why Xypex Crystalline Technology is often specified for foundation waterproofing based on its extensive track record of protection and repair in thousands of structures worldwide.

Tammisairaala Hospital
The Tammisairaala Hospital project involved constructing below-grade facilities in an area with high groundwater pressure. The engineering requirement was to waterproof the foundations and walls to prevent seepage and maintain a durable hospital infrastructure.
Atlas Kansallismuseo
The Atlas extension of the National Museum of Finland required durable waterproofing for underground and pressurized walls exposed to high water pressure. The challenge was to prevent leakage and preserve the structural integrity of the new extension.
Residential Basement Waterproofing Repair
A private residential basement in Arlington, Texas experienced ongoing water intrusion after construction. The foundation walls had been initially waterproofed using injection methods and a surface applied crystalline system.
University of Wyoming Aquatic Center
The University of Wyoming is constructing a new 44,300 square foot aquatic center to support NCAA athletics, campus recreation, and competitive event hosting. The facility includes a 50-meter, 10 lane competition pool along with diving platforms and associated aquatic support structures designed to meet collegiate performance standards.
Mighty Argo Cable Car (Argo Gondola)
The Mighty Argo Cable Car, also known as the Argo Gondola, is a new aerial gondola system under development in Idaho Springs, Colorado. The project connects the historic Argo Mill and Tunnel site to a mountaintop destination within Virginia Canyon Mountain Park and requires reinforced concrete foundations to support the gondola tower structures and related infrastructure along the mountainous route.
