That's the basic concept. In simplest terms, you can use the water causing your problem to fill the AquaDam cofferdam's system of flexible tubes, quickly creating a temporary dam to control the problem. After completing the project, you can drain the AquaDam cofferdam and roll it up for storage or disposal. The low environmental impact of AquaDams helps the site ecosystem return to its original state in the shortest possible time. In the past, your options for controlling the flow of water in and around construction sites, remediation projects, spill areas and flooding were fairly limited, cumbersome and costly.
Sandbags are labor intensive, and earthen dams require heavy machinery.
Both options also require a substantial effort for removal and restoring the site to its original state. AquaDams can divert water flow when installing underground pipelines and cables across rivers and streams. AquaDams can allow areas to be dewatered for more efficient remediation.
