Wastewater Collection & Treatment
Protecting Critical Wastewater Infrastructure
Sewage conveyance and wastewater collection rank among the most important public health responsibilities in every community. Two common issues with this critical infrastructure are microbial induced corrosion and the infiltration/exfiltration of liquids. Left untreated, these environmental issues lead to rapid deterioration of sanitary systems and failures that are costly to repair and disruptive to everyday life.

8th Ave Reservoir Improvements
Initially built in 1889, the 8th Avenue Reservoir is the largest and oldest of the city's 37 reservoirs, supplying clean drinking water. Bowen Engineering chose Xypex Admix C-500 NF for its proven, durable, long-lasting waterproofing performance as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation project, including tank-in-a-tank construction, vault improvements, and overall reservoir upgrades.
Persigo WTP Expansion
The City of Grand Junction, in partnership with Mesa County, has initiated Phase 1 of the Persigo Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion—an important step in enhancing water quality, safety, and environmental sustainability. This upgrade introduces new screening processes, advanced electrical systems, expanded biosolids storage, and improved aeration and disinfection systems, modernizing the facility to meet growing community needs.
Travaux de reconstruction du poste de pompage Quarante-Arpents II Terrebonne
The City of Terrebonne, Quebec, undertook a critical infrastructure modernization initiative, constructing a new water treatment plant to enhance water quality. The new water treatment plant required a long-term solution against harsh sewage conditions with high levels of H2S. Xypex Bio-San is a uniquely designed admixture for integral, long-term concrete protection in harsh sewage conditions with levels of H2S that cause microbial-induced corrosion (MIC).
Niwot Sanitation Station (Headworks Building)
Built in 1967, the original wastewater treatment plant faced mounting challenges due to aging infrastructure and increasingly stringent federal discharge regulations. Significant upgrades were necessary to meet new environmental standards and ensure compliance with updated permits, requiring enhanced treatment processes to safeguard local waterways.
Manure Holding Tanks
This project involved the application of Xypex crystalline waterproofing across 60,000 sq ft of concrete manure holding tanks in Clovis, New Mexico, for Vanguard Ag, a developer specializing in agricultural waste-to-energy systems. The tanks support anaerobic digestion, a process that breaks down farm and food waste to produce renewable biogas and agricultural byproducts.
