Capital Business Park

The newly constructed Capital Business Park in Cairo, Egypt, is the city’s first exclusive professional business hub. For its waterproofing needs, Xypex Concentrate was used to enhance durability and efficacy. Elkhatib & Allami led the project supervision, with engineer Hassan Shahtout from the Beton technical office providing consultation. The waterproofing scope spanned 10,000 square meters, to enable landscaping on top of the parking garage and three water tanks. Xypex Concentrate consists of Portland cement, finely graded sand and active proprietary chemicals. It is applied as a cementitious slurry to the pre-saturated surface of existing above and below-grade structures. The active chemicals diffuse into the substrate and react with moisture to cause a catalytic reaction.
