PROJECT TYPE
Water & Wastewater Rehabilitation
LOCATION
Cheshire, CT
Savy & Sons saved our pond! There are very few companies that show-up when they say they will, and do what they say they will… Ralph and Travis are honest, very knowledgeable, and have excellent mechanical skills. I highly recommend them. Looking forward to working with Savy & Sons again as we repair additional leaks in 2019.
NEW DEPARTURE FISH & GAME CLUB
Just about 50 years ago, the pond at the New Departure Fish & Game Club was drained to clean the pond and install a valve to allow easier access and better control of the water levels. Unfortunately, the hatch didn’t weather well and has had a serious leak for many years, so significant that the culvert underneath collapsed and the club estimates that over 200,000 gallons of water a day has been lost. The club sought a permanent, affordable solution to stop the water loss, and allow easier access to control the water levels.
After a referral from a club member, Savy & Sons was brought in to replace the valve and seal the void. Using a rapid setting advanced hydraulic cement, designed for structural patching, the Savy & Sons team also installed an 8” PVC pipe with an inline air plug and cap. Better able to weather the frost/thaw cycle of New England winters, this configuration also provides better access control to regulate the pond water table as needed, with the option to release up to 2,000 gallons a minute when fully open.
The repairs were completed without the need to reduce the pond levels, and the project’s quick timeframe did not interfere with the club operations. Additionally, the materials used are eco-friendly, so as not to upset the sensitive pond ecosystem, which is stocked with trout four times a year.
