1.1 Reducing the Consumption of Building Materials

After years of practice in rubber dam construction, the construction of rubber dams can save a large amount of building materials, especially cement, steel, and wood, compared to traditional dams. Usually, it can save more than 50%, ensuring project quality while greatly reducing the investment in engineering construction funds, creating higher economic benefits for the country and construction enterprises.

1.2 Flexible and easy to maintain

The water blocking effect of rubber dams is relatively small, with a large span, and the maximum span can reach 900 meters. While reducing the number of gate piers, it increases the effective water crossing section. Moreover, rubber dams have the characteristic of flexible lodging. When floods come, placing the dam bag can ensure that the cross section of the riverbed is not affected. The operation is very flexible, and the opening and closing are also very simple. Simply installing an air compressor or water pump can adjust the height of the dam body, and there is no need to build a working bridge. The process of repairing it is also relatively simple. When the dry season comes, releasing a portion of its internal water can achieve simple maintenance. Unlike traditional gate maintenance work, which requires the construction of maintenance gates, this also greatly saves project investment.

1.3 Simple production method

At present, the manufacturing of rubber dams has achieved a factory process. Many enterprises in our country are able to manufacture rubber dams, which are not affected by construction conditions or external environmental factors. Installation is very simple, greatly improving the construction efficiency of dam construction, thereby saving a certain amount of action and achieving the goal of saving funds. 1.4 Good anti-seismic performance Because the dam body of the rubber dam is a flexible Thin-shell structure, which is relatively light and elastic. Moreover, rubber dams do not have high working bridges and lifting frames, making them highly outstanding in terms of seismic performance.
