It can mean something like a 'coffer dam' which is a structure built around a construction site in a river or sea to permit work within it after water is pumped out.
Bridges and dams are built after a coffer dam is constructed to reroute the water. When the structure is complete the coffer dams are removed or destroyed.
The Boulder Dam was officially renamed Hoover Dam in 1930, in honor of President Herbert Hoover, who played a key role in its construction. The name change reflected Hoover's significant contributions to the project during his tenure as Secretary of Commerce and later as President. The dam was originally referred to as Boulder Dam during its construction, but the name was changed to recognize Hoover's influence and support.

The heel of a dam refers to the downstream portion of the dam's structure, where the dam meets the riverbed or foundation. It is typically the part that is closest to the water flow and plays a critical role in the dam's stability and structural integrity. The heel is designed to withstand hydraulic forces and ensure that the dam remains securely anchored to its base. Proper design and construction of the heel are essential to prevent erosion and potential failure of the dam.
