1.) This project called for the de-watering of an area of a dam that had eroded away.
2.) This is the area that needed to be de-watered, cleaned off, and repaired.
3.) A single closed end (SCE) AquaDam has been installed parallel with the flow of the water.
4.) A worker stands next to a couple of AquaDams that are installed and working. The smaller white AquaDam is likely to help mitigate seepage.
5.) Some of the damages that need to be repaired.
6.) Workers use large aggregate and other fill material to build a temporary access road.
7.) As could be expected, water eroded large parts of the dam. This section had to be removed and re-poured.
8.) This picture shows a few other areas of erosion that needed repairs.
9.) AquaDams were used to divert the river flow so that work could be done in the dry and concrete could be poured.
10.) Now that most of the water is gone workers remove old broken pieces and prepare the area for new construction.
11.) Workers prepare the area for concrete to be poured.
12.) The AquaDam is doing a great job keeping the water off the work area.
13.) Workers have begun pouring concrete, so they can make the needed repairs.
14.) A close-up of workers laying concrete in the de-watered work area.
15.) Great job AquaDam!
