    Bulkhead & Stop Log Installation – NATCEM® 35

     A practical, grout-based solution for high-pressure conditions to restore dependable water control at Chasewater Reservoir

    Project Overview

    Earlier this year, the team at Edwards Diving Services successfully delivered a bulkhead and stop log installation at Chasewater Reservoir with the help of NATCEM 35. The aim of the project was to restore safe access and full hydraulic control for the asset owner, ensuring the long-term functionality and maintanence of the structure.

    The Challenge

    The project began with a flooded wet well, preventing safe inspection and access to critical infrastructure. A detailed investigation was required to assess the condition of the asset and develop a suitable engineering solution.

    Methodology

    In mid-2025, comprehensive underwater surveys were carried out by the specialist dive team, supported by laser scanning technology. This approach provided accurate, high-resolution data. The data formed the basis for a precise and effective design.

    Our Solution

    The team installed and secured the steel frames supporting the stop log channels using NATCEM 35. This removed the need for mechanical fixings. The approach delivered a precise and efficient installation. It also maintained the structural integrity required for this critical asset.

    The system withstands a 10-metre head of water and delivers reliable performance under high hydraulic pressure. In addition, the reservoir spans approximately 270 acres, meaning a significant volume of water is safely retained.

    Overall, this project shows how the product performs in demanding environments. It also plays a key role in maintaining the safety and functionality of critical infrastructure.

    The Outcome 

    By selecting NATCEM 35, the team at Edward Diving Services was able to complete an installation that safely isolates the shaft, restores access to downstream valves, reinstates full hydraulic control of the reservoir, and provides a durable, high-performance solution without the need for mechanical fixings.

    If this kind of reliability and strength is important to you – it’s time to get in touch with Natural Cement, and use the materials that are built to perform, and backed by nature.
