Amarillo Osage Water Treatment Plant
The City of Amarillo initiated rehabilitation work at the Osage Water Treatment Plant to extend the service life of existing concrete structures within the facility. The scope of work included waterproofing the east settling basin interior walls, internal concrete structures, and floor areas beneath effluent structures.
Phase 1: crack repairs at multiple locations and Xypex coating application to approximately 20,000 square feet of concrete surfaces. 48 pails of Xypex Admix C 500, 120 pails of Xypex Concentrate at 60 lb. each, and 10 pails of Xypex Patch’n Plug were used during Phase 1. The work was completed successfully with strong performance results. The successful execution of Phase 1 established Xypex coatings as the basis of design for the upcoming Phase 2 work, scheduled for release for bidding in 2026. This project demonstrates Xypex Technical Personnel proficiency in providing onsite training and technical support to enable the contractor to perform specialized waterproofing work, reduce overall project costs, and deliver long term durability for critical water treatment infrastructure.
