Got a very beautiful old dam that is leaking and beginning to lose mortar. Currently draining the lake and I intend to build an interior concrete liner to serve as a concrete gravity dam sealing and relieving pressure on the old masonry. I’m forced to build a temporary road through the lake that has several feet of silt and muck. I have several concerns:
1. What kind of road design should I consider for the several feet of muck I have to work with?
2. What is the best and most inexpensive cofferdam out there in the market or can I make my own?
3. How do I design concrete cold joints to prevent leakage?
4. At what point do I need to add cooling tubes to the concrete to prevent overheating?
5. Any other considerations I need to think about?
Any suggestions or advice would be great.
