The project includes construction of approximately 200 meters of dual transition tunnel at each end. Concrete was in situ placed [no shotcrete]. The base and roof slabs are minimum 1.2 meters thick while the walls are on average 0.9 meters thick. Xypex Admix C-1000 NF has been cast into in excess of 75,000 cubic meters of concrete [mostly with minimum 500 kg of cementitious]. Over 30,000 kg of Xypex Concentrate have been applied to repair and protect diaphragm walls, construction joints, etc. Over 15,000 kg of the specialist repair mortar MP&P have been applied in general repairs such as tie bolt holes, as well as to create bedding for hydrophyllic water stops.
