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.

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.
ČS. Spořitelna Drinking Water Reservoir
The ČS. Spořitelna project in Prague, Czech Republic, aimed to refurbish a drinking water reservoir. Completed in 1995, the project involved a two-layer waterproofing system by applying Xypex Concentrate and Xypex Modified to the 60 m2 concrete surfaces of the tank. The project, led by SANACE and executed by ABV s.r.o. Praha 9, successfully sealed all joints and openings and eliminated all leaks.
Al Salha Water Treatment Plant
The Salha water treatment plant, strategically positioned on the White Nile's shore in the Salha area, was developed to enhance water services for the southern region of the national capital, Omdurman. Given the critical nature of this infrastructure, ensuring the structural integrity and impermeability of the concrete water tanks was paramount. The project encountered significant challenges, notably concerning concrete defects, with prevalent issues such as faulty joints and honeycombs that compromised the structures watertightness. Furthermore, funding constraints resulted in adjustments in the project’s management and schedule.
