Repairing the Opening to a Storm Drain / Catch Basin |
|
|
(click on thumbnails for enlarged photos) |
|
 |
This storm drain/catch basin opening has been damaged and collapsed numerous times by the rear wheels of heavy tractor/trailers making right turns at this corner. |
 |
Having determined that the lintel requires additional support to withstand this abuse, holes are here being drilled in the concrete for two support bolts. |
 |
Here you see the lintel, with the two support bolts being installed and the steel rebar being straightened. Note the opening between the rear of the lintel and the existing concrete, an area that would be difficult to form from below. |
 |
The area behind the lintel is now being effectively spanned with the use of FUSION-CRETE® 5-Minute Concrete, a product that develops a dough-like consistency just prior to hardening, allowing it to be used for situations such as this. |
 |
Here you see the area above the lintel and extending to the sidewalk being primed with FUSION-CRETE® "premix" prior to the application of the repair material. |
 |
Now the repair material has been applied and trowel finished on top of the lintel, surrounding the steel rebar and extending to the sidewalk. |
 |
The fishing touches are here being applied to the sides of the opening to complete the project. |
|
Estimated time required for this installation: 3 hours. |
