Desperate Measures to SAVE THE FARM POND!
What happens here
With the inflatable plug in place and bentonite applied, the final step involves permanently sealing the dam with concrete. A concrete mixer truck from 'Chandler Inc.' delivers 2.5 yards of concrete (approximately 9,250 lbs) to the site. The concrete is poured down a chute directly into the washout hole, completely encapsulating the broken pipe and solidifying the dam. The presenter and his helper monitor the pour to ensure proper coverage and stability.
Goal: Create a permanent, strong seal for the pond dam.
