Rosemont Reservoir
Montreal, Quebec,
Canada
A five-stage restoration program will result in Rosemont reactivated in 2016 to substantially increase the city’s potable water supply. The reservoir holds 227,000 m3 (around 8,000,000 ft3) or roughly 60 million gallons of water and is the equivalent size of four football fields by four football fields. Over 150,000 lb each of Xypex Concentrate and Modified were used to waterproof, protect and renovate the walls, ceiling and slab of this major project.
Xypex concrete waterproofing products were included in the renovation specifications for the restoration of the Rosemont Reservoir – Montreal’s largest underground water reservoir. Rosemont was built in the 1960s but decommissioned in 1978 because of changes to the city’s drinking water supply system. However, a five-stage restoration program will result in Rosemont reactivated in 2016 to substantially increase the city’s potable water supply. The reservoir holds 227,000 m3 (around 8,000,000 ft3) or roughly 60 million gallons of water and is the equivalent size of four football fields by four football fields.
