This precast concrete pit is going to house an industrial press that cannot be submerged in water. This was the highest and most active water table we have ever seen. The water was coming in and creating a “river” that had to be continuously pumped out. This project is broken down into three phases. Phase one is to waterproof the exterior joints, and the exterior walls of the pit up to 20’. Then the excavated portion will be backfilled. Next the top sections will be added and we will waterproof the rest of the structure which will be a total of 30’. After the structure is built, we will drop inside, seal all the joints and coat interior with a coating that can stand up to harsh acidic chemicals. For all our waterproofing projects we install a complete envelope to ensure the water cannot move and penetrate another area.
