Plan view with worksite from Google Earth Pro. The AquaDams for this project were installed inside the yellow circle.
Looking downstream of work area before installation.
Workers are clearing and guiding where the 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 89' long single closed end (SCE) AquaDam with no connection collar will be placed.
Workers are preparing pumps and hoses for the 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 89' long (SCE) AquaDam with no connection collar before installation.
Rope is placed underneath the AquaDam and over to apply pressure to the AquaDam, giving the AquaDam head into the flowing water.
The 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 89' long (SCE) AquaDam with no connection collar needs to be tied to an anchor point (bulldozer) before filling and unrolling.
Area where the 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 89' long (SCE) AquaDam with no connection collar will be deployed. Sandbags were placed for upstream to help impede the flow.
Workers are easing the 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 89' long (SCE) AquaDam with no connection collar across the river as it is unrolling along its given path.
Workers are adjusting the ropes that are wrapped around the 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 89' long (SCE) AquaDam with no connection collar as it continues to unroll across the river.
8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 89' long (SCE) AquaDam with no connection collar has been installed and filled.
Workers are unrolling the 10' tall 21' wide (when filled) 140' long (SCE) AquaDam with a connection collar into the water.
Workers are anchoring and assisting the 10' tall 21' wide (when filled) 140' long (SCE) AquaDam with a connection collar in position for deployment along its given path.
Worker is walking downstream, checking water depths with measuring stick.
Workers are walking across the 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 89' long (SCE) AquaDam with no connection collar as the 10' tall 21' wide (when filled) 140' long (SCE) AquaDam with a connection collar is filling.
Ropes are tied to side handles on the 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 89' long (SCE) AquaDam with no connection collar to prevent 10' tall 21' wide (when filled) 140' long (SCE) AquaDam with a connection collar from shifting downstream.
Image of fill tubes and 3" blue discharge hoses that are used to fill the AquaDam with water. Four 3" trash pumps (Honda WB30XT pumps) were used to pump water into the AquaDams.
Workers are allowing the 10' tall 21' wide (when filled) 140' long (SCE) AquaDam with a connection collar to build and maintain head as its filling.
Workers are measuring remainder of total linear footage needed with measuring tape. The 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 208' long (SCE) AquaDam with a connection collar, connection ready (C.R.) and tapered fill tubes (T.F.T) will be used to close off the work area.
(Day 2) Pre-AquaDam installation. 4' tall 9' wide (when filled) 80' long double closed end (DCE) with a connection collar and 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 208' long (SCE) AquaDam with a connection collar, (C.R.) and (T.F.T) will be installed
Excavator loading the 4' tall 9' wide (when filled) 80' long (DCE) AquaDam with a connection collar in the water. Once in the water, workers are able to float the AquaDam to its designated area.
Workers are pulling the connection collar of the 10' tall 21' wide (when filled) 140' long (SCE) AquaDam for the 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 208' long (SCE) AquaDam before installing the 4' tall 9' wide (when filled) 80' long (DCE) AquaDam.
Workers are floating the 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 208' long (SCE) AquaDam to designated area. The AquaDam will be tied to the 10' tall 21' wide (when filled) 140' long (SCE) AquaDam with a connection collar prior to installing the 4' tall 9' wide (when filled) 80' long (DCE) AquaDam with a connection collar.
Workers are unrolling the 4' tall 9' wide (when filled) 80' long (DCE) AquaDam with a connection collar support dam downstream before filling.
4' tall 9' wide (when filled) 80' long (DCE) AquaDam with a connection collar has been tied back to the 10' tall 21' wide (when filled) 140' long (SCE) AquaDam with a connection collar while filling. Tying the AquaDams together helps to keep them close and in position that way the 4' tall AquaDam does not roll into the work area.
Workers are walking across the 4' tall 9' wide (when filled) 80' long (DCE) AquaDam to push the air out of the AquaDam.
Workers are pulling the fill tubes through the connection collar of the 10' tall 21' wide (when filled) 140' long (SCE) AquaDam to connect the 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 208' long (SCE) AquaDam before filling. This process allows for one AquaDam to be connected to another AquaDam.
Workers are anchoring the ropes of the 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 208' long (SCE) AquaDam as it is unrolling downstream.
Workers are maneuvering the 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 208' long (SCE) AquaDam into a turn, heading the AquaDam towards the ending bank.
The 8' tall 17' wide (when filled) 208' long (SCE) AquaDam is filling as it is heading back to shore.
Standing on the end of the 10' tall AquaDam looking downstream. The 4' tall AquaDam has been fully installed and part of the 8' tall 209' long AquaDam is shown.
All (4) AquaDams have been installed and filled to their maximum height. This is an example of a "U" Shape Configuration.
Sandbags are used as anchor points to tie the end of the remaining footage of the 8' tall 208' long AquaDam.
