    A cofferdam is a temporary structure built to exclude water from construction sites and allow work under dry conditions. Cofferdams prevent water entry, provide work platforms and space for foundations. The type of cofferdam chosen depends on factors like area size, water depth, and flood risk. Common types include earth, rock-fill, sand bag, and cellular cofferdams, with earth used for shallow depths up to 2m and cellular for large deep areas over 20m.
