Flooded Cofferdam

20081028-cp-0024
View of the extent of flood damage to the unfinished cofferdam. Brilliant Pumping Station can be seen on the other side of the Allegheny River, and a bridge is visible on the right. A cofferdam is a temporary structure created to expose areas that are normally underwater so that work, such as creating supports or repairs can be completed.
