How to Build a Watertight Cofferdam with WADIT

The Challenge: Creating a Watertight Sheet Pile Wall

When constructing in water-adjacent environments, one of the biggest challenges is ensuring a watertight barrier. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in New Orleans faced this exact issue—they needed a fully sealed sheet pile wall to prevent water infiltration. Without an effective sealant, water seeps through gaps in the sheet piles, making construction inefficient and costly.

The Solution: WADIT Sealant for Ultimate Waterproofing

To tackle this problem, USACE specified WADIT Sealant as the go-to solution. Contractors were required to seal all sheet piles in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. This approach ensures maximum water resistance, durability, and efficiency.
