The CYLutions™ System represents the first real progress and development in the science of joint waterstops since the mid 1980’s, and is a far departure from the traditional and less reliable quasi-solution approaches that have dominated this science. It has proven to work in over 100 installations at many dams including those with heads exceeding 300 feet.

Concrete gravity dams have anticipated lifespans that last for decades, so it’s reasonable to expect and to plan for years of maintenance and repairs. One area that is especially prone to failure is cast-in-place copper or PVC waterstops in concrete monolith joints. Even minor shifts between the monolith joints can gradually destroy the integrity of existing waterstops. Surface contamination, poor construction quality and environmental elements can also lead to failures of original waterstops.

Dam safety is the driver for action today.  Deficiencies must be addressed with reliable, cost effective solutions.  If failing waterstops in monolith joints are the problem—Emagineered Solutions® is the solution.

Our fifth-generation, remedial waterstop process repairs monolith joint leaks better than any other product on the market. The installation of our CYLutions™ System for waterstop repair begins from the deck of the dam; it is less complicated and less intrusive. It requires no divers and leaves no visible chemical and environmental blemishes to the dam structure.

Since 1998, Emagineered Solutions® has expertly serviced concrete gravity dams and navigation locks experiencing waterstop leakage. Our CYLutions™ System for waterstop repair represents the optimal solution for dam leakages due to failed cast-in-place monolith joint waterstops.
