Portadam’s temporary proprietary cofferdam system, the Portadam®, is one of the world’s most advanced portable water diversion solutions.
Since it is deployed as a free-standing structure without penetrating the ground, it does not cause environmental harm. At the heart of the system are fully engineered modular steel frames complemented by a nylon-reinforced impervious PVC fabric liner, protecting the work area from the water —and the water from the work area. The engineered structure can retain up to 12 feet of water, separating the loading and unobstructed work area from the water body.
The engineered Portadam® cofferdam system can be installed in virtually any configuration, providing open space behind the barrier and allowing clear access to the dry areas. Its flexible design is engineered for custom solutions and engineered to work in the most complex situations.
Temporary cofferdams can serve various purposes. Examples include:
