Water Holding Structures

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.

Initially the leaking areas and defective concrete were treated with Xypex Concentrate and Patch’n Plug Dry-Pac system before two coats of Xypex Concentrate were applied in this suspended swimming pool.

 

This old reservoir in the Industrial Sector of Cartagena de Indias, was completely restored with Xypex products. The marine environment had affected all the concrete and part of the steel reinforcement. Before the application of Xypex, the corroded material on the beams, columns and reservoir was removed. Xypex Concentrate was then applied to the surface. Xypex Admix treated mortars were also used for repairs throughout the whole structure.

 

Xypex products were used to waterproof and protect the concrete of this reservoir.

While Xypex Concentrate was applied on previous similar projects, the Xypex Admix was selected for this one to prevent water ingress and egress and to save time and employment costs. Dosage rate of 1% by weight of cement.

 

Two coats of Xypex Concentrate was applied in the pool and other wet areas. Successful completion of the project was done after several test conducted by client.

 

The design-build contractor for the new 12-storey Alley 111 mixed-use high-rise in downtown Bellevue, Washington included a LEED-point eligible water retention vault to capture and store stormwater per the city’s building code. This structure was constructed using a blind-side shotcrete method with Xypex Admix C-500 to ensure that it is watertight.

Xypex Patch'n Plug and Concentrate were used to seal off several purpose-built pressure release holes in the below-grade swimming pool of this structure.

 

The Xypex crystalline system was applied to this newly poured concrete slab using the 'dry-shake' method. After spreading the Xypex Concentrate powder evenly over the concrete surface, the application was finished by power trowelling the material into the top surface area of the concrete.
