This is a great example of the durability of an AquaDam. AquaDams can be placed on uneven ground, around trees and around other objects. AquaDams are constructed using lightweight and flexible materials, allowing them to be bent and shaped into different configurations.
The AquaDams depicted in the following photos were strategically installed to prevent floodwaters in the slough from reaching the homes located on the other side of the rock wall.
This photograph depicts a section of the slough that is prone to flooding. The AquaDams can be seen acting as a protective barrier, safeguarding the homes from potential water damage.
AquaDams are highly effective in serving as flood protection barriers and ensuring the continuous operation of roadways.
AquaDams are able to bend around objects in the path where they need to be applied.
Another photo displaying the ability of an AquaDam to bend around objects. During installation, workers strategically incorporated small pleats on the inner side of the turns to ensure a smoother and more effective turn.
The white tubes sticking out the top of the AquaDam are fill-tubes. The fill-tubes of a single closed end (SCE) AquaDam need to be elevated to retain the water in the AquaDam. To ensure proper installation and functionality of a SCE AquaDam, it is essential to have a starting bank that maintains a higher elevation than the body of the AquaDam. The open end and fill-tubes of the SCE AquaDam must remain elevated above the full height of the dam along its designated path. It is important to note that an AquaDam will only reach its maximum height at the lowest elevation point along its designated path.
AquaDams are available in a range of sizes and can be customized to meet specific height and length requirements. These versatile water-filled barriers can be interconnected using connection collars, enabling them to extend for miles if necessary.
The trailer on the left is stocked with unused AquaDams, each one carefully wrapped in a protective covering. AquaDams are delivered in a rolled-up form, similar to a carpet roll on a wooden beam. They are wrapped in a protective covering and include lifting ropes or straps for easy transportation.
This was one of the homes that needed to be protected from the rising flood water.
Construction progress on the permanent water-tight barrier, essential for protecting the surrounding houses from flooding, was delayed due to seasonal constraints. In response, a temporary backup plan was implemented, and AquaDams were installed to ensure the safety of the area.
AquaDams were selected for this project due to their quick and efficient installation process.
This particular type of ground surface does not typically seal effectively, which may result in unwanted seepage beneath the AquaDam. To improve the seal, it is recommended to use non-abrasive fill material on this type of surface. Additionally, rock picking is crucial to enhance the seal created by the AquaDam.
The slough that posed a threat to the homes is located on the right side of this photo. The AquaDams shown here will serve to maintain access to the roads and protect the homes from flooding.
During flooding events, pools of water may accumulate over time in the protected area. It is imperative that these pools be promptly pumped out to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of the surrounding environment.
