New Construction
Build Durability into Every Structure
The best time to protect concrete is before deterioration begins. By incorporating crystalline waterproofing during construction, concrete gains permanent resistance to water ingress, helping prevent reinforcement corrosion, leakage, and premature deterioration throughout the life of the structure.
AVA Concrete Protection works with owners, consultants, contractors, and ready-mix producers to specify waterproofing systems that become an integral part of the concrete. This approach reduces dependence on conventional membrane systems, lowers long-term maintenance costs, and enhances the durability of critical infrastructure and commercial developments.
Concrete Repair & Rehabilitation
Extend the Service Life of Existing Structures
Concrete structures are constantly exposed to water, chlorides, chemicals, and environmental conditions that can lead to cracking, leakage, corrosion, and structural deterioration. Timely repair and protection are essential to restore performance and prevent further damage.
AVA Concrete Protection provides engineered repair and rehabilitation solutions that address the root causes of deterioration—not just the visible symptoms. From active water leaks to damaged concrete and reinforcement corrosion, our systems restore structural integrity while protecting against future deterioration
Whether rehabilitating aging infrastructure or repairing commercial buildings, our goal is to help clients maximize the life of their assets and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Understanding Crystalline Waterproofing Technology
Discover how Xypex® crystalline technology works inside concrete to help prevent water ingress, protect reinforcing steel from moisture-related deterioration, and enhance long-term durability. Unlike traditional surface-applied waterproofing systems, Xypex® becomes an integral part of the concrete, providing permanent protection from within.
Watch the video to learn how crystalline waterproofing supports the performance of infrastructure, commercial, industrial, and water-retaining structures.
Self-Healing Concrete with Xypex Technology
Concrete naturally develops hairline cracks over time due to shrinkage, thermal movement, and environmental stresses. Xypex® crystalline technology responds to the presence of moisture by generating insoluble crystals within the concrete matrix, helping seal fine cracks and capillary pathways to reduce water penetration and support long-term durability.
Key Benefits
By becoming an integral part of the concrete, Xypex® provides continuous protection throughout the life of the structure, helping maintain watertight performance even as the concrete is exposed to moisture over time.
Why Waterproofing & Concrete Protection Matter
Concrete is designed to last for decades, but without effective waterproofing and protection, water and aggressive contaminants can gradually compromise its durability and structural performance. Investing in concrete protection during construction—or as part of a rehabilitation strategy—helps extend service life, reduce maintenance, and preserve the value of critical assets.
Risks of Unprotected Concrete
01.
Water Ingress & Persistent Leakage
Water penetrating concrete can lead to leaks, moisture damage, and accelerated deterioration, affecting both structural performance and interior spaces.
02.
Corrosion of Reinforcing Steel
Moisture and aggressive contaminants can reach embedded steel reinforcement, leading to corrosion, concrete expansion, cracking, and reduced structural capacity.
03.
Chloride & Sulfate Attack
Exposure to chlorides and sulfates can chemically degrade concrete, accelerating deterioration in marine, industrial, and water-retaining environments.
04.
Concrete Cracking, Spalling & Deterioration
Repeated exposure to water and harsh conditions can cause cracking, surface delamination, and concrete spalling, compromising durability and appearance.
05.
Increased Maintenance & Repair Costs
Unprotected concrete often requires frequent inspections, repairs, and rehabilitation, increasing the total cost of ownership over the structure’s lifespan.
06.
Reduced Structural Service Life
Premature deterioration shortens the expected lifespan of concrete structures, leading to earlier rehabilitation or replacement than originally intended.
07.
Operational Downtime & Costly Disruptions
Leaks and structural repairs can interrupt facility operations, delay construction schedules, and result in significant financial impacts.
Xypex vs. Traditional Waterproofing Membranes
Traditional waterproofing membranes protect concrete by creating an external barrier. While effective when properly installed and maintained, they can be susceptible to punctures, installation damage, and deterioration over time.
Xypex works differently. It protects from within the concrete, becoming a permanent part of the structure rather than relying on an exposed surface layer. This provides long-term protection against water ingress while reducing the risk associated with membrane damage.

“Based on the discussions with the BTB and KKB, the BWS NT I proposed to get recommendations from the POE on which treatment is suitable to address the leakages on Pandanduri Dam by considering the technical, time, and budget allocation provided. The report of POE provides a technical review of the condition of the tunnel of Pandanduri dam where the leakages almost occur on all construction joints and seepage at the concrete tunnel body, and based on the POE reports, crystalline technology is preferable.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Xypex is an advanced crystalline waterproofing technology that becomes an integral part of concrete. When moisture is present, it forms insoluble crystals within the concrete matrix that help block the movement of water through pores and microcracks.
Traditional membranes create a protective layer on the surface of concrete. Xypex® works from within the concrete itself, providing permanent internal protection that is not dependent on an exposed membrane layer.
Yes. Xypex is commonly used in new construction projects including foundations, basements, tunnels, bridges, water tanks, wastewater facilities, parking structures, and other critical concrete applications.
Yes. Xypex surface-applied systems are designed for concrete repair and rehabilitation projects, helping protect existing structures from water ingress and further deterioration.
Xypex offers repair and leak-stopping systems that can be used as part of a comprehensive waterproofing and rehabilitation strategy for leaking concrete structures.

“In the construction work at the subway station of Tsuen Wan West of Hong Kong KCR, for the waterproofing of concrete pressure-resistant slabs used in the station building, the waterproofing method by the use of a membrane was designated in the initial specifications. With respect to this, our company is proposing to switch to the use of the concrete waterproofing material of XYPEX whose effectiveness has already been confirmed in Singapore. By using this material, not only work quality is assured, the period of construction can be shortened.”
