Cofferdams: 3 Things to Look For in 2018

2018 arrived in much of the Northern United States with record-breaking snowfall and precipitation. Beyond the obvious hazards of icy and impassable roads, freezing temperatures and dangerous snowdrifts, a secondary crisis could occur as warmer weather approaches and snow begins to melt.

The Secondary Crisis

As such a massive amount of snow melts, the behavior of the water it produces can become erratic. Gurgling creeks can become rushing rivers, destroying vegetation and structures along the way, resulting in devastating damage and irreparable erosion. To protect the stability of the region, and protection of property, both private residents, and cities alike should consider utilizing cofferdams.

1. Avoid Flood Damage.

To protect your home or business from melting snowfall flooding, an inflatable cofferdam is an economical choice. In addition to possible structural and sentimental losses, allowing generators and electrical systems to flood can be dangerous and costly as well. Remember that it’s much cheaper to invest in preventative measures, such as cofferdams, than it is to rebuild your home or business!

2. Protect the Environment.

Cofferdams are temporary and do not result in permanent aesthetic or structural damage. This is great not only for the value of your property but for the well being of the environment around you. Easy to set up and remove, systems like the residential WIPP system (Water Inflated Property Protector) provide a simple solution to protect what’s yours.

3. Make Repairs.

As a measure to quickly repair property or equipment that may be under floodwaters, a cofferdam can prevent water from returning to the repair site once it’s been pumped out. Acting as a temporary barrier, it allows workers safe and easy access to the job site and ample time for the area to recover before removal.

Come Prepared in 2018

The weather is unpredictable with far-reaching effects that can linger for a long time. It’s more important than ever to utilize the tools available to you in the event of a natural disaster. Looking ahead, the value and importance of inflatable cofferdams and related products in construction will only increase.
