An apparatus and method for endwise connecting subterranean barrier members is disclosed. The apparatus includes at least two barrier members with each barrier member extending between top and bottom edges. Further, each barrier member has a side first edge having a flange defining a first connector and an opposed second side edge having a channel defining a second connector. The channel is sized and shaped to receive the flange of an adjacent barrier member in slidable interconnection therein. The apparatus further include a first side panel shaped to lie against a first side of the barrier members, a second side panel shaped to lie against a second side of the barrier members and a bridging plate located between the first and second panel members so as to bridge a gap therebetween, wherein the gap has a width corresponding to a width of the first and second barrier members. The associated method is directed toward creating the apparatus.

A curable water-swelling water stop material including: 100 parts by mass of a resin component which includes 40 to 100 parts by mass of a curable resin having a hydrolysable alkoxysilyl group and 0 to 60 parts by mass of a polyether polyol; 0.3 to 25 parts by mass of an aminosilane coupling agent; 20 to 250 parts by mass of a water-absorbent resin; and 0 to 160 parts by mass of an extender pigment, in which the hydrolysable alkoxysilyl group having a structure represented by Formula (1) XCH.sub.2SiR.sup.1.sub.Y(OR.sup.2).sub.3-Y, in which X is a bonding functional group having a heteroatom with an unshared electron pair and bonding to a methylene group bonding to a silicon atom of a hydrolysable silicon group, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are C.sub.1-C.sub.3 alkyl groups respectively, and Y is 0, 1 or 2.

A system that includes a plurality of front faces configured to be arranged end-to-end in a series. Adjacent front faces are connected together by a different X-shaped or X-wye connector that facilitates installation of reinforcement tail walls. At least one tail wall is connected to each connector. A redundant reinforcing tail wall may be constructed and attached to one of the connectors to provide alternative load path(s).

This patent pertains to secondary containment systems. One implementation includes a support assembly that includes an elongate post member and a stabilization plate. In one instance, a stabilization plate is mounted on the elongate post member to reduce movement of the elongate post member when the stabilization plate is embedded in the ground. Another implementation includes a panel splice assembly including reinforcing members that secure overlapping, corrugated panels.
