Kemptville Water Pollution Control Plant Expansion – Phase A

Engineered by J.L. Richards, this project prioritized long-term performance and structural resilience. Xypex Admix C-500 was added to the concrete mix during batching to achieve this. The admixture's advanced crystalline technology initiates a catalytic reaction with moisture and cement hydration by-products. Forming a non soluble crystalline structure that permanently seals the concrete against water ingress. This integral waterproofing system enables the concrete to resist extreme hydrostatic pressure, endure chemically aggressive environments, and self-heal static hairline cracks up to 0.5 mm.

Non-toxic and fully compatible with potable water applications, Xypex Admix C 500 enhances long-term durability while supporting environmental responsibility. By eliminating the need for external membranes or coatings, it reduces maintenance costs and boosts the operational efficiency of critical infrastructure. Its integration into this expansion strengthens essential wastewater services, supports future development, and enhances the region's water treatment infrastructure's efficiency, sustainability, and resilience.
