Challenges

  • 600 lineal meters of joint seals were deteriorating on the bottom of the pool.
  • Previous maintenance of these joints meant underwater divers would apply joint sealant to the joints with the pool still full of water. As this was a short-term solution and the sealant was not lasting, the client knew a long term solution needed to be sought.
