South Lathrop Commons Center Sewage Pump Station
City of Lathrop, California,
USA
In order to protect the concrete structure from microbial induced corrosion and to achieve water tightness Xypex Bio-San C500 was added to the concrete mix at the Jensen Precast’s plant at the time of batching. The Bio-San C500 contains antimicrobial crystalline technology which both kills the acid-producing microbes which proliferate in sewage structures as well as providing watertight, chemically resistant concrete with crack-healing properties.

The South Lathrop Commons Centre Sewage
Pump Station is a pre-cast structure made of
eight separate elements. The elements consist
of a precast slab, six large “box culvert” shaped
sections that are stacked to create the chamber
itself and a roof. The joints are sealed with
flexible waterstop materials and the gaps
filled with Xypex Megamix II with Bio-San to
protect the gaskets. This structure is to service
a new large warehousing complex.

Jensen Precast reported no operational or other issues in regards to mixing, casting or curing of the concrete containing Xypex Bio-San C500. The use of Xypex Bio-San C500 is expected to significantly extend the life as well as greatly reduce any long term maintenance of this important new piece of infrastructure.
