A 16' tall, 450' long single closed end AquaDam arrives rolled up like a carpet roll. This AquaDam will be used to allow one side of the pond to be dewatered and work done. The other side of the sectioned pond will still perform its normal task of collecting rain water.

A space was cleared for the suction hoses of the pumps to draw from to fill the AquaDam.

Here we can see the installation site of the AquaDam. The fill-tubes of the AquaDam will be elevated by the starting bank which is in the foreground.

Equipment is used to help with rolling the AquaDam off the trailer.

Once on the ground the fill-tubes were laid back and the AquaDam was secured with ropes. Next, equipment and workers began unrolling the AquaDam down the bank.

Here is a great photo of Mr. Herb Haschen of East Coast AquaDams. He is standing on a 16' tall AquaDam that is still rolled up on a log in a roll.

The AquaDam is still unrolling.

The AquaDam has about a foot of head above the water, providing a dry surface for workers to walk on.

The AquaDam has almost reached the ending bank.

The AquaDam has made contact with the ending bank and now the unit will begin unrolling up the bank.

Aqua Dam Inc. brought their pumps to fill an 8' tall support AquaDam.

The 8' tall support AquaDam was partially installed, but deemed unnecessary. These posts were put in to provide a tie-off point for the starting point of the 8' tall AquaDam.

Support AquaDams should be installed right up next to their primary AquaDam.

After the 8' tall support AquaDam was unrolled into place, the discharge hoses from the pumps have been placed into the fill-tubes of the 8' AquaDam for filling.

Another 8' tall support AquaDam was unrolled on top of the 16' AquaDam. This one was laid out on the opposite end of where the other one was installed.

The 8' tall support AquaDam was left in place to be used, if necessary. The work area is completely dewatered, and the 16' tall 450' long AquaDam is making a great seal in the mud.

Here we can see the mud is cracking from lack of moisture. The work area continues to dewater.
