New River Village

The site had become redundant as a result of the construction of the new Thames Water Ring Main, but is located in an extremely wet site being adjacent to the New River and reservoir, so a complete waterproofing solution of the substructure was paramount. Concrete containing Xypex Admix C-1000 NF was specified by the structural engineer. Its self-healing nature was considered as the best solution to withhold the natural hydrostatic pressure from the local bodies of water. Along with the Admix C-1000 NF in the in situ cast concrete, the Xypex Concentrate product was also specified within all the construction joints to ensure continuous, seamless waterproofing throughout the structure.
