One common theme for emergencies is that they usually have far more consequences than imagined. When it comes to water, time is not only of the essence but a crucial factor in understanding the severity of the repercussions. A fire at a fertilizer plant caused harmful chemicals to contaminate the water in a nearby river, immediately affecting its ecosystem and living creatures, including the fish. Given the possible speed at which river currents may flow, contaminations can travel fast and far if not promptly contained. The team was called to the site, through scientific methods and surveys, collaborating with multiple entities, including the PADEP, to gain insights into what had to be done. Within 24 hours, the team had erected a one-million-gallon basin ready to be filled with the contaminated water, both to prevent further damage while treating the water. #Portadam #Cofferdam #MarineConstruction Marine Equipment Solutions Poseidon Barge Rasmussen Equipment Company

Sheet piling is a tried and tested method that many contractors use for building cofferdams, but rocky, uneven riverbeds and worn sheeting can create challenges in achieving a watertight seal. When seepage becomes an issue, work delays and added costs can quickly follow. Portadam’s custom-fitted fabric solutions can help create a tighter seal, reducing water infiltration and minimizing pumping requirements. When called upon, our team will collaborate with your site project management to understand the specific sheeting layout, site conditions, and required de-watering results. Our divers can examine the site to gain an understanding of where water infiltration is occurring and what solutions may be available. Precise site- and sheet-pile-specific fabrics can then be designed and stitched, allowing for an exact, hand-in-glove-type fit over the sheet pile. This enables you to get the project back on track and focus on field execution. #Portadam #Cofferdam #MarineConstruction Marine Equipment Solutions Poseidon Barge Rasmussen Equipment Company

The oldest public park in the United States. The picturesque lake underwent a large restoration in the late 00s, including a substantial removal of the accumulated sediment in the water. The project came with multiple challenges, both through installation and removal. Water is, in itself, a complex compound to control. However, when working on rivers, ponds, or any area where water rests naturally, the surrounding ecosystem needs to be evaluated and understood before getting to work. In this case, the lake rests on a soft, silty benthic zone, which made for an extremely challenging foundation to install any system. Through careful risk mitigation, our team was able to identify the risks that could have jeopardized the success and safety of the system if not addressed. Through their extensive knowledge of working with water, they could provide a solution supporting the framework while stopping it from sinking. Thanks to this, the restoration of the lake could be completed successfully. #PortaDam #Cofferdam #MarineConstruction Marine Equipment Solutions Poseidon Barge Rasmussen Equipment Company

Our society revolves around the use of infrastructure, old and new. Some of our most valuable infrastructure is directly exposed to water or directly threatened by rising waters. To rebuild our damaged bridges, railroads, tunnels, ports, harbors, dams, water treatment plants, and power plants, water control is not only needed but plays a vital role. With PortaDam, you can create a dry, workable environment for your project. The engineered PortaDam cofferdam system can be installed in virtually any configuration, providing open space behind the barrier and ensuring clear access to dry areas. #PortaDam #Cofferdam #MarineConstruction Marine Equipment Solutions Poseidon Barge Rasmussen Equipment Company

In Kauai, HI, our PortaDam systems and strategies have been applied to control surface and groundwater at the Līhu'e-Kōloa Forest Reserve stream crossing for?bridge repairs. The use of the PortaDam system allowed their team to complete the repairs in an economically and environmentally accommodating way.?While allowing the bridge to remain operational during these necessary repairs. With the use of shipping containers, this allows us to expand our reach overseas and international. This project was?years in the making with The Department of Transport and Main Roads, and Queensland Government. With a thorough understanding of water, the site, and surrounding infrastructure, our team is proud to support this project and to help create a safer?bridge?for all that travel over this stream. #PortaDam #Cofferdam #MarineConstruction Marine Equipment Solutions Poseidon Barge Rasmussen Equipment Company
