Xypex Australia are currently undertaking works in a major tunnel project where our Xypex Admix C5000 is being used for its anti-carbonation protection benefits in pre-cast panels, exposed to extremely aggressive environments.

The project had very tight performance criteria and after a number of independent tests were conducted, Xypex Admix C5000 was chosen for its superior performance capabilities.

A whole of life approach was adopted, with a view to provide a system without extensive ongoing maintenance costs. Xypex’s high-performance permeability reducing admixture provided reduced; construction times, risks associated with human application and the significant cost associated with physical barrier systems that are often adopted in these environments.
