RUBBER DAM
What is Rubber Dam?
The Rubber dam is relatively recent Rubber dam
technological break-through.
Rubber dams are placed across
channel, stream and weir crest to
increase the upstream water level when
Concrete structure
inflated and because of that rubber
dams are also called as inflatable dams.
The dams are tubes which are made of
rubberized material. Anchoring
Composite joining sheets used in Rubber
Dam.
Construction & Membrane design
An inflatable rubber dam is basically an envelope formed from a fabric
reinforced rubber membrane which is anchored to a concrete foundation.
Membranes are designed and constructed to meet the individual
requirements of each installation.
The correct cross section of construction materials and correct
manufacturing techniques maximizes the reliability and service life of the
rubber dam
This is How Rubber dam looks
like..!
• Better control of flood and
draught, through watershed due to
Why automatic inflation and deflation
Rubber mechanism.
Dam ? • Increase per capita storage capacity
and water use efficiency.
• Easy installation.
• Reduction of soil erosion.
• Ground Recharging.
Built up cost
Lower investment, cost about 40% than the
conventional gated regulating structure.
Cost Considerations.
