Morouj Flour Mills
Khartoum North (Bahri),
Sudan
The construction of the Morouj Flour Mills in Khartoum North (Bahri), Sudan, Morouj Commodities Co. Ltd faced significant environmental and logistical challenges. Positioned in the Bahri industrial area, the project site was susceptible to elevated groundwater levels, presenting a considerable risk of water ingress and potential concrete degradation over time. This challenge was compounded by the size of the project which required the coordination of concrete delivery from various ready-mix plants across the region, a task that demanded meticulous quality control to ensure consistency of the concrete used.
To address these challenges, Morouj Commodities Co. Ltd, alongside the expert consultancy of the Technocon Engineering Group and the experience of the applicator Uniseal Construction Chemicals Co. Ltd, chose the unique Xypex Crystalline Technology, bolstered by its proven track record in similar industrial settings around the world. Xypex Admix C-1000 NF was integrated into the 5,340 m of foundation’s concrete during the batching process, not only saving time and money but rendering concrete permanently waterproof, chemically resistant, and capable of self-healing cracks up to 0.5 mm. Complementing the comprehensive waterproofing strategy, used Xypex Concentrate for the foundations’ concrete joints.
This judicious selection of the Xypex Waterproofing Technology, driven by the collaborative synergy between Morouj Commodities Co. Ltd, Technocon Engineering Group, and Uniseal Construction Chemicals Co. Ltd, not only addressed the immediate concerns of groundwater infiltration but also ensured the concrete remained durable and watertight for years to come. The project stands as a beacon of value engineering, showcasing how meticulous planning, advanced solutions, and collaborative execution can overcome the most formidable challenges.
