Hi,
Recently I go through the image you attached, yes it possible to repair the leakages and seal with concrete with some admixtures. I suggest you contact with the locally available contractor for repairs. But if you are a civil engineer, the following are some suggestions.
Following are some repairing methods for leakages
- Resin injection: used for repairing the concrete saw delaminated and also used for joints that experience water leakage. Metals are used for rebound cracks, whereas polyurethanes and acrylic acrylates are used to seal the cracks and joints that leak water.
- Stitching cracks: it is a long-lasting and easiest method where the holes are drilled, and the surface is stitched with the help of a metallic wire. Is metallic wires are passed through the holes and anchored strongly, and the vacant spaces are grouted.
- Gravity field method: in this method instrument with waterproofing admixture used to fill the cracks with the help of the gravity where it is allowed to move inside the cracks by gravity forces and sealed it. It is used for the cracks with width 0.03mm to 20mm cracks
- Micro toppings: Polymer with 1/8 inches, which contained a modified concrete and sand, are applied with the help of trowels. This treated surfaces can be allowed for public use within 36 to 42 hours of usages.
