A view from across the bay during high tide.

Viewed from the opposite side, the large size of the AquaDam® is apparent, especially compared to the two men standing in front of it. The outside of the AquaDam® is 2' lower in elevation than where the men are standing.

The width of the AquaDam® has to be taken into consideration. This dam has a circumference of 80' and is 350' long. 

The project site is located directly in the path of the Norfolk International Airport runway. Notice the size of the boat behind the AquaDam®. It looks very small, but it is actually over 20' long. Also, notice all of the muck that has to be removed. 

Here, an excavator is loading a dump truck. A huge amount of muck had to be removed before construction could be started on the boat ramp. This pile represents only about 1/3 of it. 

Overview of the dewatered project area before muck removal was completed. Notice the two men on the right hand side. Street cones with flashers were placed on top to warn boaters at night.
