Today we are going to take a look at Coffer Dams.
A cofferdam is a temporary barrier structure designed to keep water out of a construction site. They're built to give workers a dry work environment. Coffer dams are usually constructed offshore, sometimes even under severe weather conditions. Safety is of utmost concern when working with coffer dams because workers will be exposed to the hazard of flooding and collapse. Different types of coffer dams include: braced, earth-type, timber crib, double-walled sheet pile and cellular.
Performing work below water level can be difficult and costly. The key to performing this type of work efficiently is to minimize work over water and perform as much of the work as possible on land. Now is when coffer dams come in handy. Here are some advantages to using a coffer dam:
Coffer dams made with Big Bags USA flood barriers are an easy and cost effective alternative to metal sheet pilings that require expensive equipment to deploy. Simple, fast, deployment is what makes Big Bags USA barriers an industry leader. Our flood barriers can be used anywhere; they easily conform to railroad tracks, tops of levees, streets, hillsides, over sewer drains and any other uneven topography.
Big Bags USA systems can handle the highest demands at a fraction of the costs normally associated with rapid deployment systems. One system is 36” wide, 15’ long, and 40” tall.
