Case Studies

“The efforts and expertise of Portadam and Rain for Rent was an important factor in helping us complete this project– despite challenging environmental conditions.” –Brent Hunt, Skanska Project Manager [caption id="attachment_2057" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Pier 10 with the blue coffer dam around the foundation of Pier 9 in the background.[/caption] Problem: Coordinated efforts were required to meet the demands of a multiple phase project during a bridge reconstruction over Huguenot River road. There were also extremely volatile flow conditions with very rocky and irregular subsurface conditions that required a four phase dewatering project. Solution: Portadam provided a 10’ high system, diversion dams, fabric wraps, extra bracing equipment and unique fabric materials. Rain for Rent provided settling tanks to meet strict environmental regulations and a variety of pump capacities. Both companies were intricately involved in daily scheduling and planning meetings –to allow for proper contractor coordination. Bridge reconstruction of Huguenot Road Bridge over the James River.
