A Flexible Solution for Water Flow Management
A high-efficiency alternative to rigid concrete/steel structures, inflatable rubber dams combine precision control with low-maintenance operation.
These systems consist of an elastic weir fixed to a concrete foundation, which can be automatically inflated or deflated depending on the desired water level.
They are ideal for water flow regulation, improving energy efficiency, and flood protection.
Advantages of Inflatable Rubber Dams
Operational Flexibility: The dam height can be adjusted in real time — manually, automatically, or remotely — providing precise control of water levels in rivers or canals.
Minimal Environmental Impact: Rubber dams do not require massive concrete infrastructure and can be seamlessly integrated into natural landscapes, preserving the surrounding ecosystem.
Durability and Stability: The membranes are made from reinforced, high-strength materials resistant to UV exposure, frost, and mechanical stress. With proper maintenance, service life exceeds 25 years.
Fast Installation and Removal: Installation can be completed within a few weeks without large-scale excavation or construction works.
System Integration: Inflatable dams can be easily combined with Archimedean Screw Turbines and used in hybrid energy systems.
Recreational opportunities: Creating stable water levels for kayaking, fishing, and waterfront activities, while allowing rapid deflation to restore natural flow conditions during off-seasons—combining utility with environmental sensitivity
