The document discusses a training program for engineers on using water stops to prevent leakage in dams. The program covers different types of water stops, including elastomeric and thermoplastic water stops. It discusses proper installation of water stops, including the connection of water stops on site and in workshops. The program teaches engineers how to address problems with water stops like improper connections. It emphasizes the structural requirements for water stops and proper handling and installation of water stops. The goal is for engineers to understand how to use water stops to create watertight concrete structures in dams.
