Aqua Dam® (Water Structures® in the US) is a water filled portable dam or barrier, that can be positioned to contain or divert the flow of water. Aqua Dam® is lightweight and easy to handle and can be used in virtually any location. On-site requirements are just a portable pump and the usually abundant local water supply. Aqua Dam® is environmentally safe and specifically designed to provide rapid deployment. The result is a flexible and stable water filled barrier to contain, divert, and control the flow of water. The unique combination of properties makes Aqua Dam® ideal for a wide variety of applications. Some of the more common uses include:
- Stream crossings during pipeline installation.
- Easy, rapidly deployed flood water control.
- Water containment during repairs to bridges, diffusers, and sewage systems.
- Construction and repairs to seawalls and groins.
- Temporary containment or repair of pond liners.
- Silt containment and sediment collection.
- Erosion control through diversion or containment.
- Temporary footbridge through environmentally sensitive areas.
- Water storage for stock, wildlife, fire protection, or other agricultural uses.
