Recently Xypex dealers from Eastern China and neighboring provinces gathered on the shores of the beautiful West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province to participate in the 2020 XYPEX East China Business Conference. On the first day of the conference, the group visited a Xypex application ‘in-progress’ - a large real estate development in Hangzhou for the Qujiang New Oupeng Group. This project involves an area of over 100,000 m2 of waterproofing and will require approximately 1...50 tonnes of Xypex Admix, the primary waterproofing system for the project. The next day’s meeting was opened by Zhang Wei Chen, deputy general manager of XYPEX China agent, Beijing Cheng Rong Waterproofing Materials Co. Zhang spoke of the business development of Xypex in China through the preceding year, the impact and difficulties relating to the COVID-19 virus, and the opportunities for real growth through the balance of 2020 and 2021. The meetings were compact and full and, with all of the exchange and sharing of knowledge and experiences, the conference was a great success. This Xypex family of dealers emerged full of confidence in the future of their Xypex business! #xypex #concrete #engineering #architects

Move Concrete Waterproofing Off-site According to a recent report by USG Corp. and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, work-site labor shortages are a serious issue, and a high percentage of contractors face challenges completing work on schedule. In fact, 73% of contractors report that the lack of skilled labor makes it challenging to meet schedule deadlines. Traditional waterproofing systems such as PVC sheet or spray-applied membranes are labor-intensive and must be installed er...ror-free to ensure integrity. These systems are subject to the same scheduling and labor challenges as all construction projects. The current global crisis has caused an increasing number of project delays with contractors placing great importance on worker safety and availability.

The Runner-Up Winner for Australia for the 2020 Xypex Best International Project Award was presented to Xypex Australia for the Murray Irrigation Rehabilitation project. As the largest privately owned irrigation company in the Southern Hemisphere, Murray Irrigation, Australia, continues to sustain its high performance in water delivery, security, and retention. Producing 1,000,000 mega liters of water annually and irrigating over 700,000 hectares of land, Murray Irrigation ...is responsible for maintaining over 4,000 bridge and culvert structures and 3,000 km of irrigation canals across the system. After some years of use, it was evident that a large number (217) of bridge and culvert assets of varying age and stages of deterioration needed remediation. The concrete structures typically exhibited spalling and cracking. Therefore, a concrete waterproofing solution was needed that would be resistant to water erosion, cracks, and carbonation; a requirement specified in the engineering reports. Xypex Concentrate was chosen as the preferred product to meet the engineer’s requirements for an anti-carbonation coating and because of the added benefits of utilizing Xypex Concentrate.

The Runner-Up Winner for Latin America for the 2020 Xypex Best International Project Award was presented to Grupo MG (Mexico) for the Michin Aquarium. The Aquarium is located in Puebla, Mexico and is a center for conservation, research, and education. The Aquarium has more than 90 exhibits with different species located within one of the six ecosystems (Jungle, Forrest, Reef, Mangrove, Open Sea, and Lakes & Rivers). Each section recreates the corresponding atmosphere throug...h sounds, colors and various elements that together create a dynamic tour for visitors. Due to the nature of aquariums, a waterproofing solution was needed for the various tanks and exhibits that were to be built in the new Puebla Aquarium. These tanks and exhibits would remain filled for more than 30 years, so the owner needed a guarantee that there would not be the slightest possibility of leakage and therefore no maintenance in any concrete element of the aquarium. Furthermore, as some of the tanks would contain salt water, the concrete needed to withstand the effects of marine environments. Despite being specified to use surface waterproofing, the owner and contractor decided that Xypex’s crystalline waterproofing technology was the best solution.
