Case Study for Underground Basement Wall Leakage and Measures

Abstract

Underground basement structure is one of the key structures in substation building, which constructed 5.00-6.00m below ground level. Due to high ground water table, in most of the cases, basement structures located submerged in water. As the underground basement constructed mainly to accommodate the incoming / outgoing cables and other services, protecting the structure from water dampness and seepages is vital process.  Even though all the precaution measure taken during constructions, some project may occur water seepage. Hence, in this article, we explore the case study of water dampness, causes, corrective and preventive measures obtained in one of the project.
