    Plateau Potable Water Reservoir Vaudreuil-Dorion

    Vaudreuil-Dorion, Canada

    To overcome this, the engineers selected Xypex Admix C-500, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, which was integrated directly into the concrete mix and is NSF 61 approved for potable water use. This innovative product works from within the concrete, reacting with moisture to form a crystalline structure that seals pores and micro-cracks.

    By using Xypex Admix C-500, the reservoir achieved integral waterproofing without relying on external membranes or coatings, simplifying construction while providing a barrier against water ingress. The use of Xypex Admix C-500 also enhanced the concrete’s resistance to chemical attacks and significantly reduced future maintenance costs.

    The integration of Xypex Admix C-500 not only addressed the project’s technical challenges but also contributed to sustainability by extending the reservoir’s service life and reducing maintenance over time.
