Concrete Basins are a crucial component of water supply projects, and their quality is directly related to the project's effectiveness. Therefore, leaks in Concrete Basins must be promptly and effectively addressed. This article will introduce concrete pool leakage treatment methods based on real-world cases.
1. Construction Joint Leakage Treatment
Leakage in construction joints can occur due to problems such as inadequate cleaning or insufficient concrete strength. Treatment involves chiseling away loose concrete on the surface until the hard base is reached. If the loose concrete has penetrated the wall, a higher-grade concrete mix of the same cement and an expansion agent and anti-seepage agent should be used for pouring.
2. Concrete Crack Leakage Treatment
Concrete cracks are another cause of leakage, including shrinkage cracks, plastic shrinkage cracks, and settlement cracks. For narrow cracks, apply a membrane such as epoxy resin or a waterproofing solution along the crack surface. For wider cracks, chisel out a V- or U-shaped groove along the concrete surface and fill it with resin mortar. 3. Addressing Localized Flaky Leaks in Wall Concrete and Leaks Through Wall Holes and Pipes
Localized flaky leaks in wall concrete and leaks through wall holes and pipes may be caused by vibration loss in the concrete, failure to install waterstops in tension bolts, and other factors. Treatment methods vary depending on the specific situation: chiseling and cleaning, followed by caulking, reinforcement, and leveling. Leaks in wall casings can be addressed by manually compacting dry, hard concrete.
Waterproofing Material Selection and Application
When addressing leaks in Concrete Basins , appropriate waterproofing materials should be selected. Commonly used waterproofing materials include Ansai waterproofing agents, waterproof mortars, and resin mortars. These materials offer advantages such as simple application, excellent waterproofing performance, and long service life. During use, the mix and application should be performed according to product specifications to ensure the desired waterproofing effect.
Construction Precautions
When addressing leaks in Concrete Basins , the following points should be noted: First, ensure the concrete surface is clean and free of debris such as floating layers, old coatings, dust, and dirt; second, ensure a sufficient open capillary system to facilitate the penetration of waterproofing materials and the formation of a bond; third, chisel and clean the concrete surface as appropriate, and inspect for structural defects; fourth, flush the base surface with clean water before construction to ensure thorough wetting and internal saturation.
The above methods can effectively address leaks in Concrete Basins , ensuring the normal operation and full effectiveness of water supply projects. In actual application, appropriate treatment methods and materials should be selected based on the specific situation to ensure the desired waterproofing effect.
