deterioration of the concrete, causing leaking.
A Xypex cast liner was chosen to permanently waterproof and rehabilitate the tank due to its resistance to aggressive chemicals and elevated temperatures.

Xypex C-Series admixtures are added during batching to incorporate crystalline technology into the concrete mix.
The Xypex chemical treatment reacts with cement and the byproducts of cement hydration to fill the capillaries in the internal structure of the concrete, creating a non-soluble crystalline matrix.
The result is concrete that prevents the infiltration and exfiltration of water and other liquids for the entire structure’s service life.

PRODUCTS USED
CONCENTRATEApplied as a cementitious slurry to the surface of existing above or below-grade structures to waterproof and protect the concrete against high hydrostatic pressure and aggressive environments.
Incorporated during batching, add waterproofing and durability to the concrete, with formulations available for a diverse range of mix designs for above-ground and underground structures.
Formulated as a crystalline, fast-setting hydraulic cement compound for concrete patching and repair. It stops flowing water in seconds and is used to seal cracks, fill tie-holes and other defects in concrete.
