The Razorback Dam Seal works in progress. Day 3. Shake & bake.
The false land bridge is rolled back on the leaking wall and Bentonite layers 1 & 2 go in.
Razorback Dam Seal nuances
A total of 4 tonnes of Bentonite is applied to the new dam wall material with the excavator being used like Mum’s old mix master to create a gooey sticky dam sealing amalgam.
The weather is starting to roll in on top of Razorback mountain and the clouds are looking ominous.
What’s next? Day 4 is looking challenging. Day 5 weather forecast looks bad
Things could go sideways if we get too much rain from this point on and the very project is under threat. If things go wrong, it may happen that the progress will be lost and we will need to start the work practically from the scratch.
