The water is then pumped out of that section and the glass can be replaced/repaired without having to drain the entire tank. Once fixed, the barrier valves can be opened to allow water to enter the repaired section and the pressure equalized to that of the tank.

They will then check the structural integrity of the repair and once all tests are passed, the barrier walls will be removed.
Yup, thats about how I imagined it would be fixed
