Known Facts

• Concrete is everywhere!  Roads, sidewalks, houses, bridges, skyscrapers, pipes, dams, canals, missile   silos, and nuclear waste containment.  There are even concrete canoes and  frisbee competitions.

• It is strong, inexpensive, plentiful, and easy to make.  But more importantly, it’s versatile.  It  can be molded to just about any shape.

• Concrete is friendly to the environment.  It’s virtually all natural.  It’s recyclable. 

• It is the most frequently used material in construction.

• Slightly more than a ton of concrete is produced every year for each person on the planet, approximately 6 billion tons per year.

• By weight, one-half  to two-thirds of our infrastructures are made of concrete such as:  roads,  bridges,  buildings, airports, sewers, canals, dams, and subways.

• Approximately  60% of our concrete highways need repair and 40% of our concrete highway  bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.

• Large cities lose up to 30% of their daily water supply due to leaks in concrete water pipes.

• Cement has been around for at least 12 million years and has played an important role in history.

Concrete is everywhere. Concrete in any form needs protection for preserving this important composite material in casted form.

Concrete structure needs waterproofing products and technologies which are foolproof, highly durable, easy to use and which treat whole body of the concrete. Hydronil’s crystalline products and technologies are the answer. Hydronil´s MICT technologies are specifically developed to preserve our versatile material, concrete. Hydronil’s products have a broad application range. Most often the difficult and demanding areas of structures, Hydronil’s crystalline waterproofing can be made simple by using the right product systems.

A wet or damp basement, a leaking water tank, a wet parking garage or moisture in an elevator pit are very difficult problems to permanently repair and waterproof. Many of the products and systems in the marketplace will provide a band aide solution at what may appear to be a low cost, but in reality it becomes much more costly when all the hidden costs are factored in. There are very few truly permanent solutions available short of rebuilding the area in question. Hydronil not only specializes in avoiding the problem before it occurs, we also have solutions to stop the problems after the fact.
