  • Quick to install and dismantle
  • Cost effective
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Minimal damage to the bed of the watercourse and surrounding areas
  • Easy access to remote sites - even the largest frames can be man handled

How it works:

The unique Portadam system compromises of welded rectangular steel "A" frames which are placed in the water course at pre-calculated intervals. A tailored membrane is then suspended from the frames and lays along the "A" frame and bed of the water course.
