2. PIPELINE INSTALLATION & REPAIRPipeline repair or replacement projects can be complex, particularly when water is present. We understand that pipeline repairs often require
completion in a short time frame. Aqua-Barriers™ provide the fastest cofferdam method available. The next time that you are confronted
with a temporary cofferdam need, let us save you time and money.
The Canal Block Formation is
beneficial when working in narrow
channels. Water pumps or
diversion pipes can be utilized to
maintain appropriate upstream
water levels.

3. Aqua-Barrier™ Water Inflated Dam
Product Specification
1.1 Specification
A water-inflated temporary dam shall consist of the following:
1) The water inflated dam will consist of a self contained, single tube with an
inner restraint baffle(s)/diaphragm(s) stabilization system. The water-
inflated dam must have the ability to stand alone, without any additional
external mechanical or gravitational stabilization devices, as a positive water
barrier and water management system.
2) The water-inflated dam shall be produced from heavy gauge polyvinyl chloride (PVC) reinforced
with polyester. The PVC fabric used to create the inflatable dam will be infield repairable utilizing a
vinyl adhesive and patch material.
3) The water-inflated dam must maintain mechanical stability in addition to providing anti rolling
when exposed to uneven hydrostatic pressure from either side
4) The self-contained water inflated dam shall have threaded fill ports and drain ports for rapid
inflation and draining. The dam will be equipped with end lifting loops used to control the dam
with equipment during the installation and removal process.
5) Method for connecting the individual units together will consist of overlapping the end of the units a
specific length which will create a watertight connection. No other devices or methods for
connecting the barriers are required.
1.2 Aqua-Barrier™ Product Description
Aqua-Barriers™ are water-inflated dams used to control invasive water in floodwater situations, a
means of water management to provide access to underwater areas for construction and maintenance
operations, hazardous liquid containment, sediment retention in environmentally sensitive areas in
addition to a continually expanding list of water control related applications.
Aqua-Barriers™ are a single tube devise with a patented inner restraint baffle(s)/diaphragm(s)
stabilizing system required for stability.
1.3 Dam size requirements
The water-inflated temporary dam height shall be determined as follows:
1) Static water height conditions shall not exceed 75% of the properly filled height of the barrier.
2) Dynamic water height conditions shall not exceed stated value during hydrodynamic installation
procedures (See dynamic installation instructions for complete list of requirements).
3) Installation site criteria are required for assessment of all relevant factors.
Excess slope, high water velocities, dynamic loads resulting from wave actions, mounting surface
irregularities, and changes in interrelated hydrological conditions can increase the required water
inflated dam height verses retention height requirements.

9. AQUA-BARRIER FEATURES AND BENEFITS
PATENTED BAFFLE SYSTEM:
The Aqua-Barrier utilizes a patented fixed internal baffle system which insures a
safe and stable system. When the Aqua-Barrier is exposed to uneven hydrostatic
pressure, the internal baffle system locks into place. The Aqua-Barriers’ system
provides stability & safety.
USER FRIENDLY:
Aqua-Barriers have a unique lifting loop on each end which enables a track hoe
arm to control the barrier while installing and removing. This allows for
minimal manual labor during the installation & removal process.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY:
Aqua-Barriers are installed using the available water source at the jobsite with
minimal adverse impact to the environment. Post job restoration is not needed
using Aqua-Barriers. Simple drain and remove the barriers from the water with
little or no turbidity.
LARGE SCALE JOBS:
Multiple Aqua-Barriers can be connected together to cover large areas. The
Aqua-Barriers are connected to one another by utilizing a simple overlapping
procedure that requires no additional time during the installation and no
potentially hazardous underwater work
SAVE TIME AND MONEY:
Aqua-Barriers install in less time than most conventional cofferdam methods.
Approximately 500 linear feet of Aqua-Barriers can be installed in 1 day using 6
men, 2 track hoes and 2 water pumps
DURABILITY:
Aqua-Barriers are made with a scrim reinforced PVC material and industrial
grade fittings and intended to be reused numerous times. The Aqua-Barrier
system is infield repairable in wet or dry conditions utilizing a repair kit which
is provided with each order.
