Al-Nada Project, Al-Rabwah Villa Complex, Riyadh
A 3-story villa complex comprising 9 villas required a comprehensive waterproofing solution for its basement and raft foundation, particularly due to the very high water table and significant hydrostatic water pressure encountered on site.
To address these challenging conditions, Xypex Admix C-1000 NF was incorporated directly into the concrete mix, providing integral and permanent protection against groundwater ingress. This crystalline technology penetrates deep into the concrete matrix, sealing micro-cracks and capillary pores, thereby enhancing the structure’s resistance to both positive and negative water pressure.
Product Used: Xypex Admix C-1000 NF
Scope: Basements, raft foundation, water tanks, and retaining walls.
Details: The integrated admixture approach eliminated the need for conventional external membrane systems, simplifying application and reducing risk of failure due to
installation defects.
Outcome: A fully integral waterproofing system delivering continuous protection, increased durability, and significantly reduced long-term maintenance requirements under high water pressure conditions.
