Tower Place Office Building

London, England

Context

Office building complex situated along the Thames River, adjacent to the Tower of London.

The underground tunnels were constructed using precast pipes and cast-in-place concrete with conventional waterproofing systems. Hundreds of leaks occurred through cracks and joints where rubber gaskets were failing.

Leaking cracks extended up to five feet (1.5 metres), allowing steady flows of water up to two gallons per minute!

Solution

Kryton’s Krystol Crack Repair System (including Krystol T1/T2) was installed from the inside (negative side) to counteract the water pressure and prevent water ingress.

Krystol products are free of harmful fumes, making them ideal for use in damp, enclosed, and confined spaces.

To date, the leaks have been stopped and the project has been successful.
