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.

Address East Compound
For the Address East Compound project in New Cairo, Egypt, owned by Dorra Group, Shield for Specialized Constructions executed the waterproofing, using specifications and materials supplied by Beton, the Xypex agent in Egypt. The project utilized Xypex Concentrate for its critical waterproofing needs, including roofs, foundations, swimming pools, and water features.
Flensburg Navy Barrack Conversion
In the picturesque northernmost city of Germany, Flensburg, an ambitious project was undertaken to transform a section of an old German navy base into a new focal point for tourism, leveraging its stunning views of the Baltic Sea harbor and the quaint old town center.
Grain Silos
To waterproof and safeguard new grain silos in Behira, Smouha, and Bani Mazar, Elmenya, contractors applied Xypex Admix C 1000 NF to the horizontal slabs and used Xypex Concentrate for wall repairs. This approach was specifically designed to shield the structures from up to 8 meters of hydrostatic pressure, thereby enhancing their durability and waterproofing capabilities. The use of Xypex products in this project markedly increased the concrete's durability and the silos' overall longevity, ensuring they remain resilient against environmental pressures.
Alamin Project Hamra Port
Hamra Port in Alamin City, on the North Coast of Egypt used Xypex Admix C-1000 NF in the concrete to enhance durability against seawater, specifically targeting the raft slab and buildings over the sea. This method marks a pioneering approach to coastal residential construction, emphasizing long-term structural integrity.
Skyspace Lech
In the breathtaking alpine setting of Lech, Austria, at 1,780 meters above sea level, Skyspace-Lech stands as an architectural marvel designed by James Turrell. This project, realized by Baumschlager Eberle Architekten, faced the formidable challenge of integrating this circular underground structure into the rugged mountainous landscape, offering visitors unique views that connect the Biberkopf summit and Bürstegg village with the Omeshorn mountain.
