Hi,
There is this project that we are working on right now, that has a serious seepage problem (see attached photo). It is an underpass structure which is not completely isolated when built, so water leaks from it's floor and possibly through the walls. The water table is 2 meters below ground level and the structure itself is right below the ground level. The question is, is there any test, a geoelectrical test maybe, to reliably determine the exact place of water leakage so we can find a way to isolate it. Our employer doesn't wants to go through the problem of digging all around structure, pumping water away and isolating from outside of building. the budget is tight, he says.
