An area of 20,000 square meters of the lake was previously used as a temporary lake to capture storm water runoff and had been subjected to bacterial growth. These areas were cleaned to remove bacterial growth and then treated with X-Treat Sanitizer to sanitize the surface of the concrete to prevent future bacterial growth. Surface preparation was completed using a captive blasting technique. Six captive blast teams were able to prepare 6000m2 of concrete surface per day. This process produced a lightly exposed aggregate finish that revealed all the bug holes (blow holes). X-Shield Bug Fill, a two component high-build thixotropic epoxy resin, was used to fill bug-holes and surface imperfections prior to coating the lake bed. |
