“We started looking into Aqualastic two years ago for our large concrete ditch that is over 20 years old. The concrete ditch has a lot of cracks. We’ve tried everything to make repairs with no luck. The Board decided to reach out to Aqualistic to see how their product worked. We also wanted to inspect ditches they’ve repaired. In 2019 we decided to try Aqualastic on a third of the ditch. So far, we haven’t had any new cracks or old cracks re opening. During the spring of 2020, we plan to have Aqualistic come back to finish the remaining part of the ditch. We are excited to continue working with this great company and product.”

Like other irrigation districts throughout the Western United States, the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District (Nevada) has benefited greatly from the application of AquaLastic®, a polyurea elastomeric coating, to structures in the Newlands Federal Reclamation Project. We view AquaLastic® as an excellent product with which to encapsulate degraded sections of concrete -including canal linings, thus arresting the advance of facility deterioration. AquaLastic® has been applied broadly to sections of lining in the Truckee Canal; and, after many years in use, the product continues to perform without fail its role which includes the elimination of seepage from the Canal.

"Our secondary reservoir has been leaking through the joints for years. In the past, we’ve tried to clean the joints out and seal them as best we could, even replacing sections with new concrete. Aqualastic was our last attempt to seal the reservoir without completely replacing the concrete liner. Aqualastic worked by cleaning and sealing the joints. Our measured underdrain flows have gone from 7 inches down to ¼ inch of flow over a measuring weir."
