Belstone SR - Case Study Reservoir Waterproof Membrane – South West Water
Application Belstone SR is located near Okehampton in Devon. South West Water were refurbishing the SR, they required a water proof barrier to be applied to the roof to prevent water and contaminants from penetrating the concrete roof and contaminating the drinking water contained inside.
Solution LINE-X applied their WRAS approved XS 350 polyurea to the top of the roof forming a seamless monolithic membrane. The XS 350 has excellent elasticity which can expand and contract with the concrete and thus withstand significant crack growth.
Results The 950 m2 application was completed in less than 1 week. The XS 350 is dry in seconds and offers immense strength straight away. This allowed the top soil to be reinstated as soon as the spraying was completed minimising the downtime

Hazeldown SR - Case Study Reservoir Top Waterproof Membrane – South West Water
Application Hazeldown SR is located near Teignmouth, Devon, and operated by South West Water. The refurbishment project called for the topsoil to be removed, the concrete roof slab to be sealed and then the topsoil re-instated to give the insulation required to maintain the internal temperature of the tank.
Solution The topsoil was removed and the area was cleaned and sprayed with the WRAS approved XS 350 Polyurea. The speed and ease of application allowed for the 5,500 m2 to be coated in far less time than more conventional trowel applied products Results Once the roof was sprayed the topsoil was re-instated returning the site to its original look with the XS 350 providing the seamless membrane preventing water ingress and the topsoil providing the insulation required.

Heavy Industrial Case Study
Pipeline Coating
Application These miles of underground pipe work in Egypt had developed small holes and were leaking, faced with the prospect of a very expensive project to replace each section they contacted LINE-X in search of another solution. The pipes were made of steel and they wanted a solution that would not only repair the leaking pipes but would ensure good adhesion to prevent further leaks in the future.
Solution The solution was to locate the holes in the
pipe work, raise those sections out of the ground to allow LINE-X full access to them, plug the gaps with tapered rods and encapsulate those rods with LINEX XS-350. A coating of LINE-X XS350 at 3mm thick was applied as it would completely seal the pipes and prevent the problem from reoccurring in the future. Once applied the sections of pipe work were replaced into the ground the next section in need of repair was lifted and the process began again.
Results The pipe work is back in service in a far faster time than could have been expected from a project to replace each section. LINE-X XS350 has sealed the affected areas completely and will continue to prevent the problems from reoccurring. LINE-X is working very closely with the Egyptian authorities on future projects including the possibility of relining all pipe work internally for them.

Since being out of service they had become overgrown with plants and weeds. Anglian Water were looking for a fast, effective way to get them back into service with incurring the costs of replacing them
Solution The LINE-X XS350 was sprayed onto the brickwork surfaces so it completely relined the whole tank. The initial preparation cleaning out the tanks and sealing any cracks and holes that had developed. Once cleaned the tanks were primed prior to being sprayed with the LINE-X XS350 to an average thickness of 3mm
Results Anglian Water now have the Humus Tanks back in service. They are very pleased with the outcome, the LINE-X XS 350 provided a fast and cost effective solution. The XS350 formed a seamless membrane throughout the tank and will continue to offer protection for many years to come

Heavy Industrial Case Study
Sewage Digester Tanks - Egypt
Application These large digester tanks were being eroded and damaged by the combination of the sewage within them and the air. This was causing a lot of damage and degradation The water authority needed a solution that would be cost effective, long lasting with a simple application procedure allowing a quick return to service. The project was over 200,000m2 area and carried out over a two year period
Solution The concrete was cleaned and primed and then LINE-X XS350 was applied at 3mm thickness to the exposed surfaces of the tanks that were in contact with the sewage and air combination. The LINE-X XS350 was applied to a depth that would allow the level of the sewage to sink and rise as required and was also applied over the top lip of the tanks to ensure that they were fully protected
Results The LINE-X XS350 has formed a seamless monolithic membrane over the sides of the tanks that protects against the initial corrosion and also gives addition protection from local weather conditions including sandstorms which have a sandblasting effect on them. The water authority were very happy as LINE-X has considerably prolonged the life of the tanks

Heavy Industrial Case Study
Aqua World - Spain
Application The pools at the bottom of the waterslides at Aqua World in Spain had become porous after the original paint solution used to line them started to peel away from the concrete surface below. This was causing problems for the park because water was leaking through the concrete into the grassy areas surrounding the pools. Aqua World needed a solution that would
seal the pools and look good too Solution Once the park had closed for the winter the pools were drained and fully cleaned ensuring that any paint that could flake off was removed. The concrete was then primed to ensure the LINE-X had good adhesion. LINE-X XS350 was applied to the pool at a thickness of 3mm to completely reseal it, the LINE-X was then top coated to ensure the aqua blue colour
would look good for a long time
Results The pools were returned to service at Aqua World and the park is very pleased with them. The LINE-X has solved the problem of the water leakage by creating a seamless monolithic membrane throughout the pools. The aqua blue XS350 gives the look and feel of a professional business that prides itself on its appearance LINE-X has since returned to the park to reline other pools and also look into solutions for wear and tear on the water slides
