Water Conserv II
The underground piping for this pollution control facility consists of steel pipe sections which are coated with a thin layer of cement mortar. This mortar layer was very porous and was spalled in some areas. Therefore, if left untreated, the steel would be exposed to ground water and subsequent oxidation. After repairing the spalled areas, exterior surfaces of all pipes were treated with a two-coat application of Xypex Concentrate and Modified. The Xypex treatment prevented corrosion to the steel core of the piping.
