WATERSEAL Delivers Critical Remedial Works at Cleanaway Henderson Facility

23 June 2025

When WA’s only metropolitan liquid waste receival facility faced the risk of environmental contamination, the facility manager turned to WATERSEAL for a robust and durable solution.

Located in Henderson, the site had been experiencing persistent leakage from its receivals pit—threatening to pollute adjacent wetlands. The challenge required more than a quick fix. It called for a comprehensive and collaborative approach that prioritised both performance and longevity.

WATERSEAL was engaged to undertake key remedial works, including:

  • Sealing of critical movement joints using a chemically inert polyurethane mastic, resistant to chemical exposure.
  • Installation of a flexible FPO membrane to treat internal horizontal and vertical transitions.
  • Use of crystalline repair grout to remedy identified static cracks.
  • Finishing with a crystalline slurry coating to lock down the structure and reduce future permeability.

Every product used was selected for its compatibility with chemically aggressive environments.

WATERSEAL’s technical input shaped the final specification, ensuring durability, environmental protection and long-term performance.

This project highlights WATERSEAL’s capacity to deliver under high-stakes conditions where environmental protection and engineering precision are non-negotiable.
