Good Afternoon All
we are constructing a rectangular reservoir 300*150*12 m consists of four compartments with three movement joints.
after construction completion, water tightness test is started by compartment wise, and we have observed leaking cracks on the walls, Contractor's treatment proposal is the injection by Acrylic from the inner face of the reservoir. leaks are arrested but after two cycles of filling and emptying we observed a new leak through new cracks and from the injected cracks as well
Structure durability in a question, Contractor doesn't have other option than re-injection and rearrest the leak, but it might be re-appeared in the future again.
my main search is defining the root cause as the observation might happen due to movement in different seasons which affects the crack pattern.
would any expert of you advise the root cause?
