Description

The present invention relates to a dyke module that can be filled with filling material Reinforcement, elevation, repair and / or to build a new dike, with a length between 0.5 m and 500 m and between 0.25 m and 5 m high container to hold the filling, which one on the Underside lying on the ground and two across the water front has aligned end faces, and with a support device for Keep the container ready for use, with the bottom of the container at least in such a flexible manner is that the underside is adapted to the surface.

To protect against flooding during spring tides or floods on the coast, along rivers or other dikes built. In practice, however, it often turns out that these dikes are closed are low, too weak or damaged and therefore the water masses can't stop.

To reinforce or increase dykes quickly and easily, is in DE-A-44 17 672 have been proposed one or more fabric tubes to be installed on the dike, pneumatically from a central filling point Sand or the like can be filled. Several of these fabric hoses can then be layered on top of each other as the respective one Situation requires. Quasi endless tubes of this type are difficult to obtain fill, because among other things the necessary pneumatic filling stations are usually not in stock and because the filling takes a lot of time in Takes up.

From US 4,921,373 a flood barrier is known, in which a large number portable, liquid-filled barriers put together to form a flood barrier become. Each lock includes a front and a rear A-beam between which a flexible container is stretched, the A-beam in the tip is pivotable and thus foldable. The Building this flood barrier is tedious and expensive because of many individual barriers needed and need to be built. After the flood barrier was built is pumped up with water. Although corresponding to this strong pumps can be used, this is a considerable effort connected.

Proceeding from this, the present invention is based on the object to create a dike module with which a dike is quick, easy and Cost-effectively strengthened, increased, repaired and / or rebuilt that can reliably and permanently contain the water and that easy to fill with filling material and to be emptied of the filling material.

As a technical solution to this problem, the invention proposes to further develop the dike module of the type mentioned at the outset, that the dike module is directed upwards over the length of the dyke module extending opening for receiving the contents. It is preferred as the filling material Water, especially water from the water to be contained, sand, Gravel, earth, stone, clay, clay, grit, rubble, concrete, slag or a combination of some of the aforementioned materials are used.

A dike module designed according to this technical teaching has the advantage that through the partially flexible design of the container Adaptation of the dike module to the respective surface contours and thus a good seal between the dike module and the subsoil takes place as one is used to from sandbags.

Another advantage of the first variant of the invention Dike modules consist of the container being filled with product from above is fillable and has such a large opening that for filling the Dike modules with bulk materials large and efficient machines, such as B. Bulldozers, excavators, crawler loaders, wheel loaders, suction excavators, tractors or Trucks, can be used.

Another advantage of the dike module according to the invention is that the sufficient and locally available water is also used as filling material can be. Experiments have shown that the flood with a water-filled dike module can be successfully contained, provided the water level in the container is at least approximately the water level of the Corresponds to the water.

It has proven advantageous to fill the container with water proven openings in the lower area of the container on the water side to provide through which the water of the water to be contained in the Flow in the dike module and flow out again when the flooding falls can. This has the advantage that filling with bulk goods can be omitted, which is both the Material, as well as the machine and personnel costs for creating the Flood protection wall significantly reduced. In addition, the costs for removing the flood protection wall as well drastically, since there is no need to dispose of the bulk material, and since that Dike module can be reused as often as you like.

Yet another advantage is that the carrier device as one rigid support frame with at least two cross frames and two longitudinal spars is executed, wherein the support frame is arranged within the container is. The longitudinal spars are preferably removable in the cross frame held. This support frame composed of rigid individual parts is firm, stable and still movable within limits, so that the dike module can also be slightly curved or arched. Hereby it is possible to save space when the dike module is removed to store and easy to transport. For this, the textile Material existing container rolled up or folded and the Cross frames or the longitudinal bars are stacked and transported. The textile container is then placed on site at the desired one Spread out, then the cross frame on the front and set up at a suitable distance before the longitudinal spars in loops attached to the top of the container and later the cross frame is hooked into corresponding holes. These individual parts thus create a dyke module in the shortest possible time, which is also easy and quick to fill with product.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention Dike module is the front wall of the container at least in one Partial area designed so flexible that an adaptation of the end face adjacent areas. This has the advantage that the dike module, for example placed on a wall or on an adjacent dike module can, and that the gap remaining between them by the fexible The end wall is closed so that a watertight seal takes place. Experiments have shown that even an imprecise, for example a dyke module placed at a small angle, but still a waterproof seal allows.

In another preferred embodiment there are transverse bulkheads in the container attached, which divide the container into several chambers. This has the advantage that if the container is damaged, only that Filling of this one chamber is washed out, and that the other Chambers work in the usual way.

In yet another preferred embodiment, the container is and / or the transverse bulkheads made of a tear-resistant, textile-like material, especially made of geotextile, flexible plastic, coated with plastic Fabric mats, time lines, fleece, woven or braided materials or from fiber material, in particular canvas material or fiber-reinforced Plastic film formed. Such a container has the Advantage that the entire under width and the entire side wall are so flexible is formed that an optimal seal between the bottom of the dike module and the subsurface or between the side wall of the Dike modules and the neighboring object. At the same time, this is Material so stable and tear-resistant that the filling material on the Container acting forces can be easily absorbed.

Another advantage is that it is made of rot-resistant Dike module made of geotextile or fleece also permanently in a dike or other earth wall can remain, so that herewith a permanent Dike increase or dike reinforcement is possible. With a permanent in Dike built-in dike module also prevents moles, Nest voles, badgers or other animals in the dike, because the textile Containers represent an insurmountable obstacle for these animals hollowing out of the dike is reliably prevented.

In a preferred embodiment, the cross frame is a trapezoid formed, the acute angle of the trapezoid between 20 ° and 90 °, preferably 60 °. This has the advantage that the dike module obtains statically optimal shape with a low center of gravity, like this from Dykes ago is known.

An advantageous dike module is about 0.8 m to 3 m wide, about 0.5 to 2 m high and up to 250 m long. The opening is along the entire length present and about 0.5 m to 1.5 m wide.

In another preferred embodiment, one is on the support frame Tension belt can be attached to secure the dyke module. This strap is on the water side using an earth nail, dowel or the like fixed in the ground or on the road surface, and ensures that Dike module also prevents slipping.

In another preferred development, the carrying device is a formed at least one gas-filled, in particular air-filled chamber, which is preferably attached to the upper edge of the container. At the The use of water as a filling material acts as if the gas-filled chamber Buoyancy body and floats on the water surface. This will the container made of textile material is erected and formed thus the dike module. To prevent the unwanted spreading apart Prevent container are between the chambers in certain Spacing drawstrings provided that connect the chambers together.

In a preferred embodiment, on the container, preferably on bottom of the container, straps attached, with which the Dike module can be additionally secured. To do this, use pegs or dowels inserted into the underground, which are in the holding loops intervene to secure the dike module.

Such a dyke module to be filled with a bulk material has the Advantage that several dike modules can be placed one above the other. For this purpose, two or more dike modules are first set up side by side and both the dike modules and the gaps or the The space between the dike module and the dike is filled with bulk material. Then the gap between two neighboring dyke modules or on the Another dyke module is placed between the dyke module and the dyke and filled in with the newly created gaps. This makes it possible to combine several dike modules into a new dike build up, reinforce existing dikes or existing dikes to increase. Further details can be found in the figure description be removed.

In a preferred embodiment, that to be filled with bulk material Container designed to be slightly permeable to water when rising Water a compression of the filling material and therefore also an optimal one To adapt to the uneven subsurface conditions. this will achieved, for example, in that the container made of water-permeable Fleece, braided geotextile or similar materials or in that the container is perforated if it is made of fiber-reinforced plastic films, tent lines, plastic-reinforced Fabric mats or the like exists.

This dyke module remains with a water-permeable container permanently in the dike, so is a drainage of the contents through Guaranteed drainage effect of the cover and a watering down or sinking the dike is prevented. The same applies to rainwater.

In an alternative embodiment, ropes are used instead of the longitudinal bars used, to which the container is attached. For this the rope one-sided, for example by means of a herring, peg or the like anchored in the ground, led around a first cross frame the long loop of the container passed through to the second Cross frame wrapped and so on until the rope is also back in Soil is anchored. This happens on both sides of the container, so that the container is thereby also reliably kept open and is ready for filling with filling material.

The dike module according to the invention can be used universally and cannot only for new construction, for reinforcement, for improvement or for increasing of dams or dikes, but also for filling up broken ones Dike sections can be used advantageously. Furthermore can the dike module according to the invention advantageously for stabilizing Embankments or slopes, for covering and / or recultivation of Stockpiles, in particular from salt piles, spoil piles, coal piles or the like, for the containment of artificially created waters, especially for the containment of ore and gravel processing emerging mud ponds, as a military protective wall and / or for Construction of noise barriers at airports or traffic routes used become.
