Scope Of Work

Hycrete was added to the concrete to waterproof the pit and tunnel and protect

the interior space from water and moisture vapor and the concrete from the

ingress of damaging chlorides and sulfates. Hycrete W1000 admixture shuts down

capillary absorption of water and dissolved salts, providing lasting protection to

the concrete structure.

Hycrete W1000 reduces absorption in concrete and moisture vapor transmission

through concrete. In the event that water finds a way around the applied

membrane system and to the surface of the concrete, absorption of water and

deleterious elements

such as chlorides and

sulfates will be reduced,

and interior humidity-

related issues will be

mitigated due to

reduced moisture vapor

transmission. Using

Hycrete enhances

concrete durability,

reduces risk of water

damage water-related

problems such as mold

and mildew, and saves

time associated with

reductions in required

maintenance.

Result

The facility is dry and the sensitive interior space and equipment is protected from

damaging water and moisture vapor and related problems such as mold and

mildew. Also, the concrete has long-term protection from chlorides, sulfates, and

other damaging elements. Hycrete has been shown to extend the life of concrete

in similar conditions by as many as 50 years compared to alternative solutions.

Finally, using Hycrete reduces maintenance requirements, saving the owner time

and money
