Excess fill material was placed on either side of the end of the AquaDam® to help hold it in place.   

As the AquaDam® was filling, the fill tubes began to creep down the berm, so they were tied off and water was pumped directly into them to help secure them.

Once the 8' high AquaDam® was inflated, pumping into it was stopped. A 5' x 100' AquaDam® is completely unrolled and pushed against the 8' AquaDam® by hand. Note that the water is 6' deep; laborers must swim the AquaDam® into position.

It was imperative that the 5' high AquaDam® was placed snugly against the larger dam. In fact, it is best if there is excess material between them. This forces the 5' high AquaDam® against the larger dam to "shore it up".
