Uncommon Concrete Swimming Pool Repairs

Description

The presentation will be focused on several actual pool restoration projects. It will include what was discovered during the investigation, development of some repair details and actual repair process during construction. Challenges on these projects were how to repair cracks in the concrete pool bottom while dealing with a water under hydrostatic pressure coming out of them; how to repair expansion joint present in the middle of the pool bottom and walls and joints that are leaking bituminous seals; how to repair lifted concrete pool deck slab caused by corrosion of steel framing below it, and how to go about the repairs with much larger extent of delaminated concrete in slabs directly above storage and equipment rooms with presence of chlorine and high voltage conduits embedded in them. Challenges imposed by material flaws and unforeseen conditions discovered during repairs methods will be presented as well.
