SAN VICENTE RESERVOIR/ COFFER DAM

The Big Red Hoist holds Coffer dam sections while Divers align and position them underwater, I think. lol
I did see 2 divers taking turns.
If you know how this coffer dam gets sealed can you please leave a comment Thanks

Hey, 49.... we're all wondering....is your handle about fish that like to swim in a blue space, or about spacefish that are colored blue? Why are there 49 of them? Will they spawn any time soon? Please post that video when possible :)

ROTFLMAO !! ALL OF THE ABOVE

It's actually a top secret missile defense silo, but the budget got cut in half (as you can see).

Yes, all pieces will be used - it goes down quite a ways - approx 100 feet - then the pieces turn horizontal along the lake bed - hence the secret highway tunnel being drilled from the downstream side - how else would you get to the secret command center? :)

(pick out what you think might be truth from above, and enjoy the limp humor from the rest)

I'll go with the missile defence budget cut in half q:D, and make sure i get a key to the tunnel .

Rubber J-seals that press between the steel cofferdam and the dam concrete.... water pressure adds to the sealing effect as well as having the cofferdam bolted tight against the dam once in place - hence the divers to position each section in place.

Appriciat that DrSantavicente. Is all the sections of coffer dam in, I noticed there are more pieces over by the staging area

Hi REEDSBUD, That's a good question that deserves an answer, I think I will find out. Thanks for checking in q:D

[REEDSBUD]

I wonder how they get a tight seal on that thing to pump out the water?
