What are the advantages of rubber dams compared to conventional sluice dams?

Rubber dam, also known as rubber water gate, is a bag type water blocking dam formed by using high-strength synthetic fiber fabric as the load-bearing skeleton, coated with rubber as a protective layer inside and outside, processed into adhesive tape, and then anchored to the bottom plate to form a closed dam bag. It is filled with water (gas) through the filling and drainage pipeline to form a bag type water blocking dam. The dam crest can overflow, and the dam height can be adjusted as needed to control the upstream water level, in order to achieve benefits such as irrigation, power generation, navigation, flood control, and tide blocking. Compared with conventional water gate dams of the same scale, it has the following four advantages:

One is the low cost. Generally speaking, investment can be reduced because rubber dam bags use thin and flexible structures made of synthetic fiber fabrics and rubber instead of steel plate reinforced concrete structures, resulting in a significant reduction in the use of three materials compared to ordinary water gate dams.

Secondly, the construction period is short. Many rubber dam projects can benefit from the same year of construction.

The third is impact resistance. The dam body is a flexible soft shell structure, which has the effect of using softness to overcome rigidity. It can resist earthquakes, waves and other impacts, and has good water stopping effect. The span is large, and it does not block water during flood season.

The fourth is convenient management. The device structure of the dam bag is simple and requires less maintenance.
