The installation of a cofferdam begins with a detailed survey of the site to determine the best location and design for the structure. Our team of experienced professionals works closely with our clients to understand their specific needs and requirements. We take into account factors such as water depth, flow rate, and soil conditions to design a cofferdam that will be safe, effective, and efficient.

Once the design is finalised, our team mobilises to the site and begins installation. The first step is to prepare the site for construction. This may involve clearing vegetation, dredging sediment, or installing a temporary access road.

Next, the cofferdam is constructed using steel sheet piles or other materials. Sheet piles are driven into the ground using a vibratory hammer or hydraulic hammer, creating a barrier that separates the work area from the surrounding water. The sheet piles are joined together using interlocking systems to create a watertight seal. We own and operate a fleet of the latest piling machinery to ensure we have exactly the right tools to complete our cofferdam installation projects on time and on budget.

After the sheet piles are installed, the cofferdam is dewatered to create a dry work area. This may involve pumping out water using submersible pumps or using natural drainage methods such as gravity flow.

Once the cofferdam is dewatered, work can begin on the project. Our team works closely with our clients to ensure that all work is completed safely and efficiently. We take into account factors such as weather conditions and tidal fluctuations to minimise risks and ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget.

When the project is complete, the cofferdam is removed in a careful and controlled manner. This may involve removing the sheet piles using a crane or excavator or using a vibratory hammer to loosen them from the soil. The cofferdam is then dismantled and removed from the site.
