This cooling pond had a tear in the liner. To patch it required dewatering, so the contractor decided on AquaDams®. In this picture, a 6' x 100' AquaDam® has been started high up the bank and filling has begun.

A rope has been secured to the far side of the board the AquaDam® is rolled up on, and as the AquaDam® fills this rope is used to pull it into the desired U-shape.

Tension must be kept on the rope the entire time that the AquaDam® is filling, or it will naturally try to go straight forward. If adjustments have to be made to the rope, the pumps should be turned off. 

Tension must be kept on the rope until the AquaDam® is tied back into the bank.
