Reservoir Leak Check
Reservoir Leak Check
(OP)
Hi,
I am involved in a project wth a large reservoir in a waste treatment facility. We are in the construction phase, and would like to know methods to test water tightness of the reservoir since time is an issue.
We are considering filling the reservoir with water up to a certain level and monitor the losses... if we detect a certain leak, we would let the water settle just below the leak point, to determine were the leak is.
Any other methods_ thankyou
Regards

Stick to the referenced code. There is no need to invent a method as this is a standard practice for a large reservoir that has a significant design life.

1. Were can I find the part i need from the code? I am used to eurocode so I don't have the code suggested.
*Not suggesting piracy to be clear
2. Out of curiosity, can I please know the meaning of
//Time of the essence, on a construction project? The dickens you say.//
Never heard it, and google didnt resolve it.
Thank you!

I don't know about EC2 but there are testing requirements in the old BS 8007 code.
