Egbin Power Station
In 2018, the Egbin Power Station in Lagos, Nigeria, undertook a significant construction project involving the stabilization of foundations and the construction of a fence. The project spanned 15 months and was marked by a critical design change midway, requiring the piles to be fabricated on land and then submerged in water. Xypex products were chosen for their proven reliability and ability to meet the project's demanding requirements.
This ensured the long-term stability and sustainability of the foundation. Additionally, Xypex Patch 'n Plug played a crucial role during repair work and for aligning the piles. Its rapid setting time significantly reduced labor time and minimized downtime, contributing to the overall cost-effectiveness of the project.
