    Cofferdams are temporary watertight structures built around construction sites located in water or wet soil to allow for construction to occur without disturbances from water. They are box-like barriers that facilitate construction by keeping water out of excavation areas and come in different types like single-walled, double-walled, and cellular. Cofferdams provide a safe, dry work environment and allow for new structures like bridges and buildings to be built efficiently with materials that can often be reused later.

    A temporary structure designed to keep water or


    soil out of the excavation(a hole or cavity in
    ground) in which a bridge pier or other structure
    is build.
    Moreover one can say a temporary watertight
    construction designed to facilitate construction
    Cofferdam is like a box which is build in water to
    facilitate construction.
    fast Construction
    Self-supporting unit
    Easy work
    Re-usability of materials
    Safe environment
    Singled walled cofferdam
    Double walled cofferdam
    Rock-filled cofferdam
    Cellular cofferdam
    Concrete cofferdam
    Cofferdams are barriers used to divert a stream
    or to enclose an area during construction.
    Usually cofferdams are used to construct a
    structure without disturbances
    By using cofferdam we can construct new
    structures such as bridges or buildings etc.
    As majority of cofferdams are temporary so we
    can re-use the materials
    Dimensions of area
    Soil condition
    Pressure of ice
    Possibility of erosion
    Pressure of flow of water
