Case History - Ipswich City Council Reservoir Repairs.

Products: NMP 1720 Heavy-duty protective coating with Kevlar.

The Problem: Ipswich City Council had a leaking reservoir that is situated in a public area. The leakage was considered slight by conventional standards, but the resulting exposure required a solution to be attempted.

The Solution: An internal inspection by a dive company concentrated on the concrete ring beam area adjacent to the extemal leakage. A fine crack was identified by the absence of sediment in the immediate area. This crack appeared to extend under the wall, and would be 'wicking' seepage to the external exposed areas. The sediment was brushed aside, and the concrete wire brushed to prepare a firn and clean working surface. 'Modelling clay' was applied over the crack to seal any water flow, and a substantial patch of NMP 1720 epoxy was applied over the whole area.

Notes/Comments: Extenal leakage has reduced to a 'damp patch' on the surrounding base area, and the Council has maintained a strong public image of water conservation and awareness to issues that are regarded as important in today's society.
