Controlling leakage from Cowans Ford dam
Grouting was used to stop discoloring surface leakage and troublesome interior leaks, one with flow of 20 gpm, at Cowans Ford Dam in North Carolina; grout of acrylic monomers, reducing catalyst and oxidizing agent, produced by American Cyanamid Co as AM-9 was used; it has water-thin viscosity; time of setting can be varied from 3 sec to several hours by changing proportion of catalysts and temperature of solution; solution was forced into openings by Moyno pumps at pressures up to 47 psi; job-developed plate packer, requiring little drilling, was used to inject grout into joints and areas of surface leakage.
