How are structures that are constantly in contact with water repaired or maintained? I imagine there has to be some sort of preparation or specific process for this?

There are hydrophobic, crystalline additives that can be added to the concrete mix that fills the voids and strengths the concrete. There are also coatings and cementitious grouts that can be applied underwater for spot repairs.
