Abstract:
A crack filling method includes forming a first drill hole in a concrete structure, with the first hole extending into a crack formed in the concrete structure. Other structures and applications are also contemplated such as joints and injection tube systems. A test hole is additionally formed in spaced relation to the first drill hole, with the test hole extending into the crack. A baseline flow test is conducted by directing a test liquid into the test hole to determine a baseline flow characteristic. A filling substance is injected into the first drill hole and into the crack to at least partially fill the crack. Subsequently, a quality flow test may be conducted by directing the test liquid into the test hole to determine a quality flow characteristic following hardening of the filling substance in the crack. The quality flow characteristic may be compared to the baseline flow characteristic to determine an effectiveness of the crack filling.

Claim (Index 17):
The method recited in  claim 16 , wherein the concrete structure is further defined by a second surface and the distance between the first surface and the second surface define a thickness of the concrete structure, further comprising the step of forming a dead hole that extends into the concrete structure from the first surface, the dead hole having an end between the first surface and the second surface.
