At Dworshak Dam on the north fork of the Clearwater River in Idaho, cavitation gutted the concrete of the spillway outlets and stilling basin. The owner, the Corps of Engineers, has pioneered a solution to this maintenance problem: replace the missing concrete, then when it's dry, soak a liquid plastic into the concrete's pores and harden it by applying heat. The polymerization procedure is described.
