Removal Procedure
Removal made easy...
When removal takes place in moving water, the water must first be equalized on both sides of the Aqua-Barrier™. Both ends of the barrier must have attached pipes controlled by hydraulic equipment arm (i.e. track hoe or crane).
Moving Water Installation
Installation made easy...
The pipe loops allow for easy maneuvering during the installation. Use a spreader bar technique along with a shoreline anchor during installations where moving water is present.
Standing Water Installation
Installation made easy...
When the barriers are installed in static water no shoreline anchor is necessary. The barriers are buoyant and will float on the surface of the water.
The crew can simply unroll the cofferdam at the desired location.
Installation Procedures
There are three primary types of Aqua-Barrier™ Installations. The following descriptions of the various types of Aqua-Barrier™ installations are simplified and are only meant to give a general overview of the installation process. More detailed installation information should be provided by a trained Hydrological Solutions representative on all Aqua-Barrier™ installations.

How do the water filled barriers work?
Utility Line Work and Water Park Maintenance
This utility line installation on the Fox River in Yorkville, Illinois required a dry worksite. 650 linear feet of 5 foot high Aqua-Barriers™ were used to successfully complete the project.
Sediment Control and Shoreline Restoration
Need a temporary dam to provide sediment control?
Aqua-Barriers™ were used to provide sediment control during the bridge construction of the JFK Causeway in Corpus Christi, Texas.
