Inflatable rubber dam
Examples of inflatable rubber dams
Ramspol blagstuw
Balgstuw Ramspol
Panorama Balgstuw Ramspol
The balgstuw near Ramspol is an inflatable rubber dam. It is situated between the Ketelmeer and the Zwarte Water in the Netherlands. This dam is build to protect the villages against the rising water of the Ketelmeer. It is the biggest inflatable rubber dam of Europe.
The inflatable dam has three inflatable parts. The data of each inflatable part are:
Ligging 4,65 m under NAP
Maximum height of the dam 3,55 m above NAP
Height 10 m
Length down 60 m, above 80 m
Drempelbreedte 15,4 m
Length fabric 24,3 m
Capacity dam: air 3.500.000 liter, water 3.500.000 liter
Thickness fabric 1,6 cm
Production Bridgestone, Japan
Weight fabric 19,3 kg/m2
Weight dam 33 tons
Minimal lifetime fabric 25 year
Closing time max. 60 min.
Time to empty max. 180 min.
Closing water level + 0.50 NAP
Adam T. Bower Memorial Dam
The Adam T. Bower Memorial Dam (formerly known as the Sunbury Fabridam) is the world's longest inflatable dam. The dam is located just below the confluence of the Western and Main Branches of the Susquehanna, between the towns of Shamokin Dam and Sunbury, Pennsylvania.
The dam is 2,100 feet (640 m) long. When it is raised in the summer time, it creates the 3,000 acre (12 km) Lake Augusta, which is used for recreation. The dam and lake are part of Shikellamy State Park.
In 2001, the dam was renamed for Adam T. Bower, Chief Clerk of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1967-68 and Director of Services during the Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention of 1967-68, by Act 2001-5 of the Pennsylvania General Assembly.
