The work included the use of borehole sampling and percussion echo detection of crack distribution, polyurethane resin injection grouting to fill oblique cracks; also grouting of horizontal leakage and verticalblock seams to effect water stoppage. The main difficulties and challenges facing this project were: improvement of resin injection grouting technology of very largestructures, the danger of frequent rock falls and aftershocks;and overhead operational safety.After completion of the grouting, the excellent effectiveness of all work was confirmed by drilling..This projects total contract amount was about12 million NT dollars.
