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.

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.

Spolar 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.
Jing Hong Hydropower Dam
The Jing Hong Hydropower Dam, situated on the Lancang (Mekong) River in Yunnan Province, China, stands as a testament to engineering excellence. Constructed between 2004 and 2009, this roller-compacted dam reaches a towering height of 108 meters, boasting a storage capacity of 1.14 billion m3 of water and a generation capacity of 1.75 million kW.
