Challenges and Solutions

Confined Space Operations

During remedial waterproofing works in the well.

Working in confined spaces requires stringent safety measures and thorough training. Our team of confined space qualified leak sealing specialists adhered to all safety protocols, ensuring a secure and efficient work environment.

Removal of Damaged Membrane Liner

The first step was to remove the existing damaged membrane liner. This process was followed by preparing the surface for subsequent repairs and ensuring the bonding of the new waterproofing system to the substrate.

Concrete Replacement Around Discharge Pipe Exit

The area around the discharge pipe exit was particularly vulnerable to seepage. We replaced the damaged concrete in this area, restoring the integrity and creating a solid foundation for the new waterproofing membrane.

High-Pressure Leak Sealing Injection

Another crucial aspect was addressing the cold joint at the bottom of the well. We effectively sealed this joint using high-pressure leak sealing injection to help prevent further groundwater infiltration and safeguard the structure.

Installation of Cement-Bonded, Polymer-Modified Waterproof Membrane

To provide long-term protection, we installed a cement-bonded, polymer-modified waterproof membrane. This advanced membrane offers several key benefits:

• Submersible and Sewage Resistant: The membrane is designed to perform robustly in submersible conditions and is resistant to sewage, making it ideal for challenging environments.
• Enhanced Longevity and Resilience: By safeguarding the concrete, the membrane significantly enhances the well’s durability, helping it remain operational for many years to come.
