Construction & Repair of Concrete Water Containment Structure

TreePeople, is a non-profit organization that provides sustainable solutions to urban ecosystem problems. The center features a 216,000-gallon underground concrete cistern designed to achieve the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum Rating. Because conventional waterproofing membranes deteriorate over time the center’s owners opted to use Kryton’s Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) and the Krystol Waterstop System for joints. By eliminating costly repairs and maintenance, KIM provides worry-free waterproofing for the life of the cistern. TreePeople Center Underground Cistern, Los Angeles, Cailfornia, USA In 2011 Kryton was awarded Project of the Year in the GreenSite Awards for their work on the TreePeople cistern. Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is the largest WWTP in the Greater Vancouver area and provides secondary wastewater treatment to approximately 1 million people. Four huge DAFT tanks, several meters in height and 400 mm (15 in.) thick were cracking and leaking. Kryton-approved applicators were contracted to provide repairs to leaking tanks and other walls at the facility. Krystol Bari-Cote, Krystol T1 & T2 were used to repair and waterproof the tanks. Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Batu Kitang Water Treatment Facility Complex, Batu Kitang , Kuching, Malaysia When Annacis Island expanded their facilities, the Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) admixture was used for waterproofing base slabs and walls in place of a membrane and bentonite at the deepest locations on-site – three stories below the water table. Due to the growing population the Kuching Water Board needed to expand their fresh water and they needed to do it quickly. The board elected to add to the complex by building an eighth module, which would increase the facility’s fresh water producing capacity by 100 million liters per day. With a timeline projected of a year and a half, speed and efficiency of construction were critical. Another important factor in construction was waterproofing as the structure would be exposed to high water pressure being constantly pumped in and out of the plant. The team used Kryton’s Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM), Krystol Waterstop System and Krystol T1 to keep the structure leak-free and meet their tight construction schedule.
