Grain Silos

To waterproof and safeguard new grain silos in Behira, Smouha, and Bani Mazar, Elmenya, contractors applied Xypex Admix C 1000 NF to the horizontal slabs and used Xypex Concentrate for wall repairs. This approach was specifically designed to shield the structures from up to 8 meters of hydrostatic pressure, thereby enhancing their durability and waterproofing capabilities. The use of Xypex products in this project markedly increased the concrete's durability and the silos' overall longevity, ensuring they remain resilient against environmental pressures.

Biogas Plant Anaerobic Digestors

The Mramorak biogas plant in Serbia, operational since December 2019, represents a pivotal advancement in renewable energy technologies, specifically in converting organic waste into biogas. This project underscores the importance of selecting construction materials that can withstand the harsh conditions of anaerobic digestion—a process where microorganisms decompose organic matter without oxygen, producing biogas but also creating a highly corrosive environment for conventional concrete.

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.

Skyspace Lech

In the breathtaking alpine setting of Lech, Austria, at 1,780 meters above sea level, Skyspace-Lech stands as an architectural marvel designed by James Turrell. This project, realized by Baumschlager Eberle Architekten, faced the formidable challenge of integrating this circular underground structure into the rugged mountainous landscape, offering visitors unique views that connect the Biberkopf summit and Bürstegg village with the Omeshorn mountain.

Holland Township Community Pool

The Holland Township Community Pool in Milford, NJ, has existed since the 1950s. However, deterioration over time has resulted in severe cracks in the concrete. The cracks have compromised the pool’s ability to maintain a watertight structure, necessitating annual repairs.

Piqua Nuclear Reactor Encapsulation Project

In 1957, the Atomic Energy Commission designated Piqua, Ohio, for a groundbreaking project: the construction of a nuclear power plant dedicated exclusively to generating electricity. The reactor became operational in 1963, marking a pivotal moment in the use of nuclear energy for electricity.

Calvert City WWTP Influent Lift Station & Plant Improvements
