Xypex Projects

The Niwot Sanitation District (NSD) in Colorado USA, undertook a significant project to modernize its wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), driven by the need to meet new environmental standards and replace outdated infrastructure.

The rehabilitation and waterproofing project for the Ikaalisten Vesitorni Water Tower in Finland required materials certified for potable water. Its shape also presented unique challenges making it difficult to install scaffolding and access both the inner and outer basins, so traditional waterproofing methods were not suitable applications.

The Kuhankosken Vesivoimalaitos hydropower plant project in Laukaa, Finland, involved constructing a new plant adjacent to an existing one, including new underground tunnels. Besides the typical challenges of meeting stringent waterproofing requirements for the dam and other hydropower structures due to high hydrostatic pressures, the project team also faced the complexities of seamlessly integrating the new plant with the old one while adhering to a strict deadline.

The municipality of Sainte-Félicité, Quebec, Canada, constructed a new water treatment plant, including a new tank, service building, and the development and connection of two wells. Xypex’s advanced crystalline technology was used to ensure permanent waterproofing and protection of critical concrete infrastructure, particularly the reservoir’s wet well foundations and concrete apron, providing lasting durability and self-healing capabilities within the concrete structure.

For the wastewater treatment plant upgrades at Lift Station 1-2 in the City of Mulberry, Florida, Vogel Brothers Contractors and Pennoni Engineering delivered a durable concrete waterproofing and protection solution using Xypex Bio-San and Xypex Admix C-500, both known for their excellence in wastewater environments.
