    The document discusses a concrete erosion repair project on the culvert filling/emptying system at the Jamie Whitten Lock and Dam, which is part of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The repair involved sawcutting and contouring the eroded area, replacing damaged materials, anchoring a steel mesh, filling with aggregate, and grouting. Periodic underwater inspections using an ROV are conducted every 3-6 months to monitor the status of the repair. The most recent inspection in 2006 found only minor deterioration.

    CONCRETE EROSION IN CULVERT FILLING/EMPTYING SYSTEM


    Location: Roof of culvert at/near monolith joint between lock wall and crossover (lock floor) Description: Eroded area was on the ceiling above horizontal splitter and extended the full width (20 feet at monolith joint) of the culvert and approximately 13 feet inward along the centerline. Depth of concrete erosion varied from 18 inches to 2 inches and the waterstop associated with subject monolith joint was either missing or damaged beyond repair. Reinforcing steel (#11 and #7) was missing or exposed.
