We bring a wide variety of experiences to the table to help solve your water storage and diversion needs.
Inflatable rubber dams are also highly effective for diverting runoff and water from various waterways to nearby recharge ponds. This diverted water percolates down into the aquifer, replenishing groundwater supplies that can later be accessed for pumping. By efficiently capturing and redirecting water, inflatable rubber dams play a key role in sustainable groundwater management.

HTE’s Rubber Dam Systems offer numerous benefits. They provide significant cost savings on materials, with construction and installation being faster and simpler than traditional gate structures. Operating and maintenance costs are low, thanks to their simple, inexpensive operating systems. Unlike conventional gates, rubber dams can fully deflate to pass high flows without obstruction, and their high-volume, low-pressure design eliminates the need for costly high-pressure compressors. They also lack leaking seals, a common issue with other gates, and perform reliably in cold climates—no de-icing, jamming, or lubrication required. Additionally, our dams adapt to foundation settlement, absorb impacts, and require no painting, making them a durable, low-maintenance choice.
