Find a Xypex Project

Xypex Admix was used to waterproof and protect the foundation of this residential building. The waterproofing was carried out in two stages using a total of 4,000 kg of Admix C-1000 NF.

Xypex Concentrate was applied to a 133 m strip between the top plate and the sheet pile wall.

 

Joseph Bellomo Architects used the crystalline waterproofing and protection features of Xypex in an innovative concrete mix on their new LEED Platinum project in Palo Alto, California. A 70% slag concrete mix combined with Xypex Admix was used for the 3,600 cubic yards required for the six-story building’s façade. 

With more than 160,000 sq.ft. of space, this brand new retail and office building is the largest in Midwood, Brooklyn, New York. Xypex Admix C-500 was used to waterproof and protect 4,000 cu.yds. of the below grade foundation. Three months after the foundation was completed, all of the areas were dry and to date, Xypex has been performing to the owner’s and engineers’ expectations.

When this set of precast modules changed from overflow to water holding use, Xypex Concentrate and Modified were chosen to create a 2,550 sq. ft. watertight structure.

This tower is the tallest residential building in the region. Xypex was used to waterproof and protect the underground water tanks.

Engineers, Meinhardt Infrastructure, faced many design challenges including a canal that ran through the centre of the building site, a very high water table and greatly elevated sulphate levels in the surrounding soils.

Due to the high density of population, and restrictions on construction, this below grade foundation concrete placements have to be done in multiple segments. The last picture is the application of Xypex Concentrate slurry prior to installation of the Miraseal water stop. Recommended construction joint details when using the Xypex admixture.

With an especially high water table at 8 feet below grade, the possibility of saltwater attack, and a garage design calling for two parking levels at 30-ft below grade, Xypex Admix C-1000 NF was specified to waterproof and protect the below-grade slabs and perimeter walls.

Three, four and six Broadgate were demolished to allow for construction of a 12-storey office building with two basement floors that will deliver state of the art trading facilities. Xypex was selected to replace the specified external membrane. The main reason for this change to the specification was to simplify and speed up the construction process, and reduce cost. Xypex Admix was used in the capping beam, basement walls and as a topping on the basement slab to ensure the double story basement remains totally dry. Not all walls are lined, so detailing needed to be created to manage and withhold the flow of water laterally where Xypex withheld the hydrostatic pressure.
