FIELD EVALUATION OF WABOCRETE FMV AND CEVA CRETE 300 EXPANSION DAM SYSTEMS. CONSTRUCTION REPORT

The purpose of this research project is to evaluate the performance of two elastomeric concrete expansion dam systems. They are "Wabocrete FMV" manufactured by Watson-Bowman & Acme Corporation and "Ceva Crete 300" manufactured by E-Poxy Industries, Inc. This report covers the installation of one "Wabocrete FMV" expansion dam and two "Ceva Crete 300" expansion dams. All three are located on Interstate 70 in Fulton County. The "Wabocrete FMV" expansion dam was easily installed. The "Ceva Crete 300" expansion dam was a little more difficult to install and required twice as many laborers.
