Abstract
Abstract A liquid-tight lining which is resistant to chemical attack for catch reservoirs, containers or the like of concrete. The lining includes a continuous liquid-tight impervious layer provided above the surface of the concrete. To make possible a simple and safe and repeatable testing of the tightness of the lining, a porous intermediate layer is provided between the concrete and the impervious layer. At least one sensor cable having at least two conductors is placed in the intermediate layer in such a pattern that any location of the intermediate layer is not more than a certain maximum distance away from the cable. The sensor cable is connectible to an electrical monitoring unit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A chemical attack-resistant, liquid-tight lining for catch basins, catch reservoirs or similar containers of concrete, comprising a continuous liquid-tight impervious layer of rubber or plastic material located above the surface of concrete, the improvement which comprises a porous intermediate layer of cement or plaster between the concrete and the impervious layer, and at least one sensor cable having at least two conductors placed in the intermediate layer, the cable being placed in the intermediate layer in such a pattern that any location of the intermediate layer is not more than a preselected maximum distance away from the cable, the cable being adapted for connection with an electrical monitoring unit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words
A chemical attack-resistant, liquid-tight lining for catch basins, catch reservoirs or similar containers of concrete, comprising a continuous liquid-tight impervious layer of rubber or plastic material located above the surface of concrete, the improvement which comprises a porous intermediate layer of cement or plaster between the concrete and the impervious layer, and at least one sensor cable having at least two conductors placed in the intermediate layer, the cable being placed in the intermediate layer in such a pattern that any location of the intermediate layer is not more than a preselected maximum distance away from the cable, the cable being adapted for connection with an electrical monitoring unit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The lining according to claim 1, wherein the sensor cable is embedded in the intermediate layer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The lining according to claim 1, wherein the upper surface of the intermediate layer defines grooves, the sensor cable being placed in the grooves.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The lining according to claim 1, comprising an additional impervious layer of rubber or plastics material underneath the intermediate layer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
17 words
