Worried about the design life of water infrastructure concrete?
The concrete structures in UK water treatment plants are exposed to many challenges, leading to premature degradation of the concrete.
If you’re tired of being caught in a short-term concrete maintenance loop of water infrastructure, then we can help your structure last longer. Our advanced solutions are designed to extend service life, enhance durability and reduce maintenance on both new and existing concrete assets. Take a proactive approach to risk reduction.
Enhancing concrete durability.
Reduce risk and extend the service life of your concrete structures. Protect against corrosion, water migration, acid attack, and premature loss of cover. Our specialised approach improves concrete quality without affecting standard mix design and placement characteristics. We provide sustainable protection in demanding conditions.
Chemical attack
The concrete structures in UK water treatment plants are exposed to various chemicals used in the treatment process, which can lead to chemical degradation of the concrete.
This degradation can compromise the structural integrity and functionality of the plant, necessitating frequent repairs and protective measures to extend the lifespan of the structures.
Protect and optimize the concrete assets from day one. Our treatments protect against the ingress of moisture-borne contaminants, and arrest the reactions which lead to corrosion of the reinforcing steel.
Ask about the CIVIL-TECT® system for the complete project-managed experience. Specific products include AQURON 2000 and AQURON 7000.
We recommend CIVIL-TECT®, MARKHAM’s protection and durability system for existing concrete. Optimize structural assets. Maximise the concrete’s service life. Reduce ongoing maintenance!
AQURON 2000 advanced spray-applied hydrogel treatment gives protection against water and chemical ingress. it promotes crack self-healing, penetrates deep into the concrete, and arrests deterioration and the steel corrosion process.
AQURON 7000 is the ultimate spray-applied hydrogel treatment for pro-active maintenance of concrete. Ideal for extreme ambient conditions including marine zone and weather-exposed structures. Penetrates deep into the concrete, protecting the reinforcing steel. Arrests corrosion and deterioration.
Moisture ingress
Constant exposure to water and moisture can lead to the ingress of water into the concrete, causing deterioration through freeze-thaw cycles and promoting the growth of harmful bacteria.
This issue requires regular maintenance and the application of waterproofing treatments to prevent structural damage and ensure the plant operates efficiently.
Enhance the durability and lifespan of your concrete assets with our advanced solutions. Combat corrosion, improve waterproofing, and reduce maintenance on both new and existing concrete.

TOP-TECT® is a systematic approach to concrete roof deck waterproofing, by waterproofing the concrete itself. Combining the benefits of MARKHAM colloidal silica hydrogel treatments with the advanced technology of delayed-swell gaskets, this is a holistic three-pronged approach bundled into a single readily specifiable package. A membrane is not required, giving the TOP-TECT system a significant cost benefit.
INFRA-TECT® – advanced system for protecting and enhancing the service life of exposed commercial concrete. INFRA-TECT® is a MARKHAM designed and installed system for concrete structures that will remain exposed – Focused on achieving maximum service life.

FAQs.
MARKHAM’s advanced treatments are designed to increase the durability and longevity of concrete in water infrastructure. By addressing factors like corrosion, water migration, and acid attack, our solutions reduce maintenance costs and extend service life for both new and ageing concrete structures.
The INFRA-TECT and CIVIL-TECT systems provide comprehensive protection for concrete in challenging environments. These systems use products like CONQOR B50, CONQOR PROTECT, AQURON 300, AQURON 2000, and AQURON 7000 to enhance waterproofing, combat corrosion, and improve overall durability.
Yes, MARKHAM’s treatments can help rejuvenate ageing concrete assets. Our products are designed to address issues like corrosion, breakout damage, and spalling. With the CIVIL-TECT system, we offer a complete project-managed experience to help preserve and optimise existing concrete structures.
For new water infrastructure projects, MARKHAM recommends using products such as CONQOR CURE for optimal curing, CONQOR PROTECT and AQURON 2000 for added durability, and AQURON 300 for enhanced waterproofing. These treatments support long-term resilience in demanding environments.
Yes, hydrogel treatments are highly suitable as they form C-S-H (calcium silicate hydrate) within the concrete, enhancing its strength and durability without leaving a surface coating. This means that the treated concrete can still undergo regular maintenance and coating applications if required.
