When an automotive manufacturer called up about a chimney repair we weren't too surprised, after all it is what we do. When they said they had water leaking in we weren't too surprised, after all condensation or cracks in the concrete can cause leaks. But when they said it was 35' underwater we started to pay attention.
The spillway in their waste water pond began to crack and leak water. The EPA was telling them they had to patch the leaks in order to comply with waste water regulations. The question became, how do you plug a hole in a damn if you can't find the hole?!! On one side we could see two hole that were leaking water, but the other side of the 8 inch concrete spillway was covered in water and we couldn't see where the cracks were.
We engineered a solutions to not only seal the leaks in the wall but seal all interior cracks and prevent future cracking.
The picture is the top of the spillway located in the middle of the pond.
