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.

Al Salha Water Treatment Plant
The Al Salha Water Treatment Plant in Omdurman, Sudan, required an effective solution to waterproof and protect the below-grade concrete treatment tanks.
The project engineers addressed this by selecting Xypex Concentrate for its outstanding waterproofing capabilities, self-healing properties, and ability to be applied to either the positive or negative sides of structures.
Quarles Water Treatment Plant
In 2012, after 58 years of service, Plant No. 1 showed the effects of age from decades of service. The concrete in Plant No. 1 suffered deterioration, including exposed rebar, exposed aggregate, loss of surface paste and spalling. CCMWA called on water engineering experts Hazen and Sawyer to study its operation and make a recommendation for Plant No. 1. The team recommended replacing the original plant with a new plant with a capacity of 33 mgd that could be expanded to 66 mgd in the future.
Sorek Desalination Plant
The project used over 300 tonnes of Xypex C-500 NF Admixture as well as Xypex Concentrate and Xypex Patch’n Plug for joints and other works. Xypex is proud to have been a part of this highly successful project.
Mitchell Water Treatment Plant
The city of Greensboro, NC’s Mitchell Water Treatment plant is over 60 years old. The plant needed significant repairs including the resurfacing of the walls in the east and west flocculation and sedimentation basins where erosive wear due to backwashing of filter media. Over 100,000 square feet of walls were rehabilitated while the plant remained operational. This project was completed to the great satisfaction of the owner with significant operational and cost savings achieved over the replacement option.
Riverside WTP
This report reviews the performance of the Xypex Concentrate / FCM 80 that was applied approximately 2.5 to 3 years prior to the site inspection. Now at 2.5 years post application the materials have exhibited excellent wear and physical properties with no sign of delamination, crazing or cracking of the applied material.
