Saint-Philippe Wastewater Treatment Facility, Saint-Philippe, Canada
The wet well of this wastewater treatment facility was constructed using Xypex Admix C-500 to ensure long-term durability under continuous exposure to aggressive wastewater conditions. By integrating waterproofing directly into the concrete, the design eliminated the need for external membranes while enhancing resistance to chemical attack.
Product Used: Xypex Admix C-500
Scope: Wet well structure within the wastewater treatment facility
Details: Xypex Admix C-500 was added during batching to create an integral crystalline waterproofing system within the concrete. This approach protects against water ingress and enhances resistance to corrosive wastewater environments, ensuring consistent performance without reliance on surface-applied systems.
Outcome: Improved watertightness and chemical resistance, reduced maintenance requirements, and extended service life of the structure, delivering long-term operational reliability.
