What is the function of rubber dams?

Recently, many friends have asked me, "What is the role of rubber dams?" Today, the editor of the first control environment will explain to everyone that the main function of rubber dams is to store floodwater during flood periods, reasonably control the upstream water level, and enable rivers to play a normal role in irrigation, agriculture, power generation, navigation, and other areas. It uses high-strength synthetic fibers as the load-bearing skeleton to support the rubber dam. Then, a layer of rubber protection layer is applied both inside and outside, processed into adhesive tape, and fixed to the floor to form a closed dam bag. It is filled with reserved filling and drainage pipes.

The advantages of rubber dams include the following:

Rubber dams are mainly suitable for low head, large-span gate dam projects, such as using them as gates or active overflow weirs on reservoir spillway to increase reservoir capacity and power generation head.

Used as a low head, large-span rolling dam or overflow weir on rivers, without the need for conventional gate hoists, working bridges, etc.

Used as an inlet gate, diversion gate, and regulating gate on the canal system, it can conveniently store water and regulate water level and flow rate; Used as a breakwater or tidal gate along the coast, it is more effective than metal gates as it is not affected by seawater erosion and marine life;

Used for upstream and downstream gates of large-span orifice locks;

Used for construction or activity cofferdams, rubber activity cofferdams can be raised or lowered in height, and can overflow from the top of the cofferdam. It does not require soil to build a cofferdam, which can keep the river clean, save labor, and shorten the construction period;

Used for urban landscaping projects, it adopts colored dam bags with beautiful shapes and smooth lines, which can add a beautiful scenery to urban construction.
