Water Treatment Plants
Water Treatment Structures
Cracks, joint leaks, chemical attacks and surface deterioration all have costly impacts on concrete structures at water treatment facilities. Xypex Crystalline Technology protects concrete structures against these issues, even under extreme hydrostatic pressure. Non-toxic and approved across the globe for use with potable water, Xypex has an extensive track record for long-term protection of critical municipal infrastructure. Whether for new construction or rehabilitation of existing water treatment structures, Xypex products protect the structural integrity of concrete.

Kemptville Water Pollution Control Plant Expansion – Phase A
As part of a major infrastructure upgrade in Kemptville, Ontario, the Municipality of North Grenville commissioned the construction of new primary clarifiers, aeration tanks, and equalization tanks to expand the capacity of its water treatment and distribution system, which has been approaching its hydraulic limits due to ongoing development pressures.
Réservoir d'eau potable Saint-Jean - Trois-Rivières
The City of Trois-Rivières awarded Construction Deric a major contract to renovate part of its drinking water network facilities in the west sector, totalling just over $77 million. The 70-year-old reservoir showed signs of hairline cracks and joint seepage. A crucial part of renovating the Saint-Jean reservoir was addressing the concrete degradation and the cracks that had developed over decades of use.
Water Treatment Plant Sainte-Félicité
The municipality of Sainte-Félicité, Quebec, Canada, constructed a new water treatment plant, including a new tank, service building, and the development and connection of two wells. Xypex’s advanced crystalline technology was used to ensure permanent waterproofing and protection of critical concrete infrastructure, particularly the reservoir’s wet well foundations and concrete apron, providing lasting durability and self-healing capabilities within the concrete structure.
Alexandria Water Company Water Treatment
The Alexandria Water Company in Egypt undertook a project to waterproof their concrete water stations. Starting in 2017, the project's objective was to ensure permanent waterproofing, increased concrete durability, and protection against chlorine. It involved the collaboration of eight contractors under the supervision of the Alexandria Water Company.
Drahonice Reservoir
The objective of the Drahonice Reservoir project was to effectively seal construction joints within a newly constructed concrete water reservoir. Completed in 1994 in Drahonice, Czech Republic, the project encompassed two reservoirs, each with a capacity of 5000 m3. The project used Xypex Concentrate to address the sealing needs. Applying Xypex products effectively provided a comprehensive seal at construction joints, permanently preventing leaks.
