CONDENSATE SUMP WALLS

CONDENSATE SUMP WALLS

CONDENSATE SUMP WALLS

(OP)
NEED TO TAKE SOME CORE SAMPLES OF A CONDENSATE SUMP WALL
FOR CONCRETE TESTING PURPOSES.  THE SUMP CONTAINS CONDENSATED STEAM MIXED WITH SOME HYDROCARBONS.  WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST AND QUICKEST WAY TO REPAIR OR PATCH THE HOLES??
IF NEGATIVE RESULTS ARE OBTAINED FROM CONCRETE TESTING (COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH) OR CRACKS ARE OBSERVED ON WALL AFTER DRAINING THE SUMP, WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD APROACH TO REPAIR THE WALLS.  THESE WALLS SUPPORT A STRUCTURE WHICH SUPPORTS SOME PIPING.

RE: CONDENSATE SUMP WALLS

Not a lot of information, but I would suggest patching the holes with hydrolic cement and sand or pea gravel.  There are also many materials in the market place.  Try Sika, Sonoborn, or Master Builders reps for suggestions. Most of them will come take a look at the problem before suggesting a fix.
