For over 30 years, the Portadam system has been, and continues to be, recognized as providing one of the most environmentally friendly products when it comes to temporary cofferdams. The system drastically reduces the amount of turbidity in the waterway as it does not penetrate the subsurface or rely on earthen materials to create the cofferdam. A Portadam cofferdam uses a nylon reinforced PVC membrane and a metal frame assembly and all components parts are easily removed from the waterway upon completion of the project; so nothing is left behind. Upon completion of the project, all component parts are returned to a Portadam facility in either New Jersey, Georgia or Texas and are washed, repaired and 100% inspected to ensure both product integrity and the removal of all foreign materials prior to shipment to the next job site. This eliminates the concern of cross contamination between job sites and from waterway to waterway.

In late 2010, the Company took the same environmentally friendly approach when it introduced an Above Ground Impoundment system to contain fresh water for fracking applications. Portadam’s system eliminates the concern for Acid Mining Drainage (AMD), does not require blasting and dramatically reduces erosion concerns. For more information visit the ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT page.
