Based on internal research and technical discussions, Xypex Bio-San was selected as an integral concrete treatment to provide long term protection against concrete deterioration. Approximately 3,200 lbs. of Xypex Bio-San was incorporated into cast in place concrete supplied by Moon Concrete Services. The integral crystalline waterproofing system permanently seals capillaries and micro cracks while the bio active component inhibits the growth of acid producing bacteria associated with wastewater environments.
The successful implementation of Xypex Bio-San at one of the Primary Pump Station led Athens Utilities to further evaluate Bio-San for use across additional wastewater infrastructure, including manhole structures. The Xypex system provides concrete protection, reduced maintenance requirements, and long-term durability for critical wastewater assets.
