Puckapunyal, Victoria
Australia
1989
Repair and restoration of this 50 year old plant, located at the Puckapunyal Royal Australian Army Base, was completed using Xypex Patch n Plug and a two coat application of Xypex Concentrate and Modified.
Prior to the Xypex treatment, closure of the plant had been considered by Australian Construction Services, the government department responsible for maintenance of all federal structures. However, the A.C.S. now estimates that the plant has gained 25 -30 years usable life.
May 2002
This project was originally completed in 1989.
An inspection was carried out in May 2002 and the original Xypex Repairs are in excellent condition and there is no deterioration after 13 years.
Whilst the photos show some shadowing of the original repairs, there is no sign of spalling, leakage or failure of the structure.
The original estimate of the increase in the life of the structure has been realistic and it appears that this estimate will be easily exceeded based on the present condition of the structure.
