Description
The Bee Slough floodgate is a concrete-lined, uncovered ditch that runs 1.1 miles along Veterans Memorial Parkway. The $2.6 million floodgate project was designed to prevent water backflow from the Ohio River during high river events that can cause stagnant water issues. Construction included replacement of a tideflex valve and a new headwall structure with two flap gates.
Products Used
A competitive product was originally specified as a concrete waterproofing solution for the mat foundation, walls, and below-grade slabs. After reviewing performance parameters and cost-efficiency, PENETRON ADMIX SB was specified by imi, the ready-mix concrete supplier.
