Here is an 8ft tall AquaDam being filled with air. This image distinctly shows the different tubing used to create an AquaDam. There is a baffle sown in the middle to help prevent rolling. This 8ft tall AquaDam is being filled with air so the unit’s layers can be lined up before the ends, of the outer layer, are sewn closed.

An extra skirt was placed over the outside of this AquaDam to increase the strength of the unit.

All the air has been let out of the AquaDam after the layers have been aligned. Notice the fill-tubes, where the air goes in/out.

Now that the AquaDam has had most of the air removed the unit can have one end sown closed.

The closed end of this AquaDam is being sewn closed.

First the inside layer is sewn closed then the outside layer will be sewn closed, of the outer tubing.

This is the location where the 8ft AquaDam will be installed.

Here is the work area (the marina) being contained by 8ft AquaDam, prior to dewatering.

Here we can see the starting bank, which is an elevated structure that the AquaDam started from and was unrolled from. The starting bank must provide the needed height to keep the open end of the AquaDam above its maximum height.

Looking downstream at the path of the AquaDam and where it ends.

Workers use ropes to secure the end of the AquaDam up to trees for support.

The sewn end of the AquaDam was rolled up on a log, which was used for transportation, tie points, and re-rolling applications.

Looking upstream towards the starting bank where this AquaDam was launched. The right side is the Maumee River, and the left is the Marina being isolated for construction.
