The work has been completed and it is now time to remove the AquaDam®. Standing on the AquaDam® we are looking up at the sand-blasted, freshly painted, steel doors.

We removed the objects from the AquaDam® by hoisting them up ropes onto the roadway above.

The AquaDam® is now deflating and it can not support the weight of a human walking on it without sinking below the top of the lake.

After draining both inside chambers using pumps, each inside tube was taken out. A crane was used to lift the end up to the top of the embankment. The crane reattached to a rope located around the body of the AquaDam® tube at the base of the concrete embankment. The crane lifted while the backhoe pulled on the end of the AquaDam® so it would not pile up in one spot.
