EKO Hotel Expansion Project

Victoria Island, Lagos

Xypex was asked to help repair and protect the concrete in the basement parking garage and lift shafts of the EKO Hotel after water leakage caused damage. The basement was built below the water table and is subjected to hydrostatic pressure. The leaks were coming from the floor slab construction joints and most of the edges along the wall to floor and column to floor areas. Xypex Patch'n Plug and Concentrate were used to make these repairs.

  • The International World of Xypex

    Concrete is the universal product that among many other things, holds water in, and keeps water out. But when water fails, it can get through and cause big problems. This is the story of Xypex around the world, the concrete fixing power of a great product — and how being there with the right stuff has made Xypex a concrete waterproofing leader.

  • Introduction to Xypex Crystalline Technology

    By means of diffusion, the reactive chemicals in Xypex products use water as a migrating medium to enter and travel down the capillaries of the concrete. This process precipitates a chemical reaction between Xypex, moisture and the by-products of cement hydration, forming a new non-soluble crystalline structure. This integral structure fills the capillary tracts rendering the concrete waterproof.

  • Xypex Crystalline Technology Animation

    How Xypex Crystalline Technology works to waterproof and protect concrete continues to hold the interest and fascination of concrete specifiers and contractors, worldwide. By way of a highly magnified view of one capillary, the animation illustrates how Xypex penetrates concrete and how the catalytic reaction that results ultimately leads to the formation of insoluble crystals and a concrete structure that is permanently waterproofed even against extreme hydrostatic pressure.
