The Challenge: Protecting Against Water Damage

With the statue situated within a water pond, the concrete base was constantly exposed to moisture. This constant exposure posed a significant threat, potentially leading to water infiltration and subsequent damage to the concrete structure. To combat this, a reliable and effective waterproofing solution was essential.

The Solution: Xypex Concentrate

Xypex Concentrate was chosen for this critical task. This unique waterproofing treatment works by penetrating the concrete and reacting with moisture to form insoluble crystals. These crystals effectively block water passage, creating a permanent barrier against water infiltration. This ensures the long-term protection of the concrete base, safeguarding the Ramses II statue from moisture-related damage.

A Lasting Legacy

The successful waterproofing of the concrete base with Xypex Concentrate is a testament to the importance of advanced construction techniques in preserving our cultural heritage. The Grand Egyptian Museum, with its carefully considered design and construction, will ensure that the Ramses II statue remains a source of awe and wonder for generations to come.
