Repairing a damaged canal liner involves first identifying the affected area through a thorough inspection. For flexible geomembrane liners, small punctures or tears can be patched using compatible repair materials, such as adhesive patches or welding techniques, to seal the damage.
For larger issues, sections of the liner may need to be replaced, ensuring proper alignment and sealing of seams to maintain impermeability. Concrete liners require filling cracks or gaps with specialized repair compounds or resurfacing with fresh concrete to restore their structural integrity. After the repair, testing the area can confirm the effectiveness of the fix.
