Using a different crane, the AquaDam® is lowered into the water.
The AquaDam® is rolled up on a 50' long power line pole. Another
way of getting the AquaDam® to this location would have been transporting
it on a boat and pulling it through the water, placing it into position.
AquaDam®s float quite easily.
The AquaDam® is now ready for inflation. There are many ropes running to the
end of the AquaDam® where they are tied off to a
guard rail. The cement wall has a 4' flat area half way up. The
inflation hoses had to go from the pumps at waters
edge up to the flat area near the wall (approximately 30').
Water was being pumped into the AquaDam®, building pressure,
causing it to unroll. The Jet Ski seen here is used to push
and pull on the AquaDam® to make sure it ends up in the exact
location desired. The water depth here is approximately 10'.
The AquaDam® is sitting on a concrete slab that has at least 1'
of mud on it.
