When partially inflated, an AquaDam® will support a person's weight. However, since this AquaDam® was not yet solid, the worker had to run quickly across the top to prevent from sinking.   

While the AquaDam® was being inflated, the other bank was built up with on-site fill material. This gave the unrolling AquaDam® something to abut into.

As the AquaDam® continued to fill, the loader pulled the unrolling end farther and farther back. Every few pulls, the rope changed position and had to be slackened and then repositioned.
