Inflatable bladder dams are the essential tool when you need a dry worksite for your project. These environmentally safe alternatives to sandbags and classic cofferdams.

Easy Inflatable Bladder Dam Installation

An inflatable bladder dam can be used on all terrains and in every scenario you encounter. Here are three worksite scenarios that are perfect for inflatable bladder dams, and how to install them.

  1. Inflatable dams for dry surface projects
  2. Bladder dams for static water worksites
  3. Inflatable bladder dams for projects with moving water

1) Inflatable Dams for Dry Surface Projects

When using an inflatable bladder dam for dry surface projects installation is simple! Just roll it out and inflate it! This method is usually used prior to severe weather to prevent flooding.

2) Bladder Dams for Static Water Worksites

Many times, there is non-moving or standing water on a site that needs removal. This is typical of boat ramp work, pipeline construction, and other construction projects. In this case, the bladder dam barriers are buoyant and will float on the water’s surface. Simply place the bladder dam at the water’s edge and then unroll the dam. Position it where you need it to be and then simply fill it.

3) Inflatable Bladder Dams for Projects with Moving Water

There are instances when water is moving on your worksite, as with bridge repairs. When this occurs, it’s necessary to position the barriers by controlling the ends with hydraulic equipment such as a track hoe or crane. You may also need to anchor at least one end of the bladder dam to the shoreline.

Advantages of Inflatable Bladder Dams

Because inflatable bladder dams can be installed 3 to 5 times faster than traditional methods, you might be wasting time and money by using outdated and timely methods such as sandbags or other cofferdams. If you are looking to streamline operations and prevent your team from hassles, an inflatable bladder dam is a perfect option for your construction and dewatering needs.
