How a Cofferdam Actually Works
An inflatable cofferdam is simple to set up and easily made expandable depending on the task at hand. The cofferdam is delivered to the work site where it’s laid out in its proper location for the tubes to suck on-site water to inflate the dam slowly and evenly. Once the dam is full, it will rest firmly against the ground, causing a tight seal and preventing the water to pass the barrier. When the project reaches completion, the cofferdam is easily deflated and stored for future use or returned. It’s effortless and highly effective.
The Baffle System
As you can imagine, the cofferdam will not be able to withstand any amount of water without a proper baffle system. This is why new cofferdams are using a strong and powerful baffle system that is able to lock it into place. This will make your cofferdam rental work to its fullest potential locking out the water from your work site.
The Free Part
In order for the barrier to be correctly installed, you need to follow certain instructions. The freeboard is essential, and it describes the amount of barrier that will remain above the water level. In this case, you should know that you must have a freeboard of at least 25%.
The Surface Friction
Your cofferdam rental will also require a surface friction to prevent the barrier from sliding when exposed to uneven water pressure. This will have to be considered efficiency and service of the product.
Reusable Barrier
Say goodbye to single-used barriers like sandbags, which absorb the offending water, bacteria and all, because Dam-It Dams’ cofferdams are specially designed to be reusable in the future and stored until needed. And unlike sandbags, our reusable cofferdam is made of a durable geo-textile material, making it puncture-resistant and able to withstand extreme water pressure.

Two Ways of Installation
These barriers can be installed in two different ways. You can install the cofferdam exactly where the moving water exists for maximum support. The alternative way is to install it in the spot that your crew can walk through the static water (water with no disturbances). Either way, the crew will help you properly place and install it and make sure your job will be completed correctly.
Before you complete your cofferdam rental , there are some additional things you should keep in mind. First of all, you must be aware that if you want to install the barrier over moving water, you will need an anchor. The shoreline anchor will ensure that the cofferdam will not float away in the middle of your assignment.
Secondly, if the installation will be done on static water, then all you have to do is have your crew unfold exactly where you want it to be. This is the best and easiest task when you have to install a barrier for your job.
