Lincoln Creek Water Diversion: |
| The second AquaDam® is positioned behind the first, and the white protective wrapper is removed. The collar of the first AquaDam® is still rolled up on the 4" x 6". |
|
|
Once the
collar is unrolled, two holes are cut in the top of it. The fill tubes of the second AquaDam® are pulled up through the holes and the first 15' of the second AquaDam® is slid into the attachment collar extending off the closed end of the first AquaDam®. It now creates a 4' high bank which will keep the fill tubes high enough to properly inflate the second AquaDam®. It also creates a perfect work platform for the pumps to sit on.

| The discharge hoses are inserted into the fill tubes that extend up through the attachment collar. Water is pumped in causing the AquaDam® to unroll. The unrolling must be controlled by workers standing behind the rolled portion of the AquaDam®. This is a very low-flow diversion, but a head difference of even an inch must be kept in check and compensated for. |
