Tils Invention applies especially :ip the esse of constructing btcyde paths andfor footpaths hot the invention is not limited to theso applications.

Prior art

Noiwithstanding: fife; pistjiehis kwm \ ihsthe : energy markefsechiesDe scafelty and fheepfef erseegy, mobility continues to grow, causing the creation of boideneeks sh'madS''Älh^8Ä9'fcss»s::^me^Ä|rAt.^e'same time therels egtowing interest Dr fight transport means which aro iess Intrusive so the mad end which consume littte or no energy such as bicycles, memrhlkes, scooters: etc. This causes an increasing demand lor paths adapted to these Sight vehicles. For safety reasons these paths are present; The scarcity of available space moans a mem ehet more costly and; different consiruotien which is even ImpossiPla ter these light vehicle paths.

The present invention has the problem of realising new mads In an easier and more economical manner. This problem: is solves by using;: tits: existing:; inffasifucturs of ditches. stresiïis, οβπ8Ι$ &nrf currents of water: etc.

Tbs using of this Infrastructure tor the construction of reeds using the casing of itches, etc. is siready froown. However, fris casing has certsln disadvantages: The easing of a currant of water requires a iof Of manual lahcr and Is expensive. Ditches and streams serve for the naira; draining of soils and a direct flew as is no Songer possible after encasement. This disad vantage is often compensated by putting in pree a meansuncrossed expense,

Moreover, one of the objectives of the present invention is to improve the functioning of ditches and of currents of water wdh the aid of a modOie which slows the ta of walerín ditches and etrosros, creating at me same time a slows a largo quantity of water to Je stored. However, the present Shveniion can also he applied to existing drainage spfems, irr pariicuiar to drainage systems which bring about a separate evacnaSon of rainwater and of wastewater. Creating drainage with ;the ail of the modules according to the invention sen; create a very extended draicage casin buffer which cat) aise store a large quantity of water.

Explanation of the in vention

Using the module of the invention net only avoids the absyemifed disadvantages but also achieves; a certain number of supplementary advantages. Thus, ihs maintenance of ditches become simpler and isse expensive and in addition the module permits fhe oroyrdingioi one of more gutters which can house silty conduits. Moreover;; a better treatment of the Water is obiaineddue to; a: syste»§|p:;p{t^ii>h 'éM öiseharp.:#ain»®fer:aít<l of wastewater, Moreover* ^ the ground, liaise achieves a saving of space due to the combined usage of space: the earns space is used for a ditch as weil as for a padi. iöreover, as mentioned above, an improvement of the storage of water to be evacuated is also obtained. The same advantages can: atso be obtained by tire application of the Invention to an existing: drainage system or to the creation ol a new drainage system. The possib% of a better up of the avsfahle spree Is also created; by the present invention by creating. Dr example separate road systemslerthe uswby common transports.
