AquaDam® provides a versatile, technically advanced solution for projects requiring reliable water control. These portable, temporary cofferdams have several advantages over traditional construction methods on projects of any scale. AquaDam® offers a cost-effective, efficient water retention system suitable for applications ranging from residential flood control to commercial bridge construction.
Where Can the AquaDam® Be Used?
Effective water containment systems have traditionally been challenging and time-consuming to construct, adding complexity to projects. AquaDam® has transformed modern commercial construction and residential water control. Water-filled cofferdam applications range from small-scale pond dredging to boat channel excavations.
AquaDam® portable barriers offer flexibility — the product is manufactured and customized to fit the requirements of each unique project.
Some of the broad applications that AquaDam® has proved invaluable include:
- Flood control: Constructing sandbag barriers is labor-intensive and time-consuming. AquaDam® can be accurately positioned and deployed quickly, offering a temporary protective barrier during flooding events for commercial, residential and public properties.
- Construction projects: Creating temporary barriers is a requirement of most construction projects that include wet zones. Building bridges and creating isolated dry work areas is a large undertaking that requires accurate and reliable water management. AquaDam® provides a stable solution to isolate work areas so construction work can proceed, and it can be removed entirely at the project’s conclusion with minimal environmental impact.
- Dredging: Clearing sediments from the bottom of waterways to restore flow or create deeper channels has traditionally been challenging. AquaDam® provides a way to contain dry work areas during dredging operations.
- Shoreline containment: Isolating sections of lakes or the ocean to undertake shoreline operations is possible with AquaDam®. By interlinking sections using a patented coupling collar, long continuous barriers can be created.
- Hazmat isolation: Erecting a containment barrier quickly is a priority when hazardous or toxic materials are involved. AquaDam® can be accurately positioned and rapidly deployed to form temporary containment dams, protecting nearby areas from contamination.
Advantages of AquaDam® for Area Isolation and Water Control
AquaDam® offers an entirely different approach to traditional labor-intensive steel sheet piles or gravel fill cofferdams for construction. The water-filled design of AquaDam® provides significant advantages over other water management systems.
Four key advantages of AquaDam® for area isolation and water control include:
- Rapid deployment and removal: Install a barrier to contain areas much faster than using sandbags. Upon project completion, AquaDam® can be removed, leaving no messy cleanup behind.
- Cost-effectiveness: Reduce project costs while enhancing effectiveness using a system that requires less labor and materials than traditional water containment solutions.
- Minimal environmental impact: Protect sensitive areas during operations with a product made from virgin-resin polyethylene and polypropylene, which have virtually no environmental impact and conform to the EPA’s Clean Water Act.
- Customizable adaptability: Use AquaDam® in a variety of water control applications. Sections can be arranged in straight lines, curves or formations to contain property and isolate critical infrastructure during flooding or to facilitate dry work in major construction projects.
