Power & Utilities
Protection for Critical Infrastructure
Concrete cracks. And when power and utility structures are involved, cracks, combined with hydrostatic pressure can spell trouble for this vital infrastructure. Once moisture enters a crack and reaches reinforcing steel, it triggers an expansive oxidation process that corrodes the structure from the inside. Freeze-thaw cycles and other challenging climate conditions only accelerate the damage.
That’s why Xypex Crystalline Technology is specified throughout the world for waterproofing, protection and repair of critical infrastructure such as power and utility structures. Whether applied to the surface, used as a concrete admixture or incorporated in crack and joint repair, Xypex technology extends the service life of power and utility structures.

Biogas Plant Anaerobic Digestors
The Mramorak biogas plant in Serbia, operational since December 2019, represents a pivotal advancement in renewable energy technologies, specifically in converting organic waste into biogas. This project underscores the importance of selecting construction materials that can withstand the harsh conditions of anaerobic digestion—a process where microorganisms decompose organic matter without oxygen, producing biogas but also creating a highly corrosive environment for conventional concrete.
Piqua Nuclear Reactor Encapsulation Project
In 1957, the Atomic Energy Commission designated Piqua, Ohio, for a groundbreaking project: the construction of a nuclear power plant dedicated exclusively to generating electricity. The reactor became operational in 1963, marking a pivotal moment in the use of nuclear energy for electricity.
Zady One Power Station
The Zady One project, located east of Berber City in Sudan's River Nile state, represents a significant advance in agricultural and industrial development. Spanning 1,000,000 Feddan (approximately 4,168.27 km² or 1,609.38 mi²), it is on track to become Sudan's largest integrated project in these sectors, featuring center pivot irrigation.
Carty Generation Station
The Carty Generation Station project marks a significant breakthrough in the power and utilities industry, focusing on sustainable energy through the transition from coal to natural gas power generation. Located in Boardman, Oregon, within the wind-swept Columbia Gorge, the project faced unique challenges due to the high winds and temperature extremes characteristic of the area.

Solar Power Plants - Transformer stations, Fire water tanks
In Hungary, as in other countries around the world, the harnessing of solar energy for direct energy production is increasingly becoming popular. Recent years have seen the construction of several small and notably more powerful solar power plants. These solar parks aim to further decrease Hungary's reliance on fossil fuels and reduce the emissions of harmful substances.
