Problem: Due to an important flowrate of water from the river nearby, the surface of this distribution chamber, which had not been protected before, was badly damaged and needed to be rebuilt. The sharp angles of the concrete inside the chamber cause a resistance to the water flow, besides, the steel surface is badly corroded.
