Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bridge barrier for the protection of a rear area against a rising water level from a front area, wherein the bridge barrier acts between a bottom and a water surface, wherein the bridge barrier comprises at least one blocking element with a longitudinal direction and a height direction, wherein the longitudinal direction, in an operating situation, extends essentially across an area, for example a stream, a fjord, a river or a river delta, wherein the height direction, in an operating situation of protection, extends from the bottom of an area, for example a stream, a f ord, a river or a river delta, and up, wherein the at least one blocking element, during operation, cooperates with a bottom rail system arranged at the bottom of the area in question.
  • the invention further comprises a method for establishing such a bridge barrier for the protection of a rear area against a rising water level from a front area.
  • Lock systems work well and efficiently in sealing off relatively narrow passages, but at the same time require a significant construction structure. For wider passages, such as the mouth of a f ord or off a bay, the known gate solutions are not suitable. Partly because of the extension to be stemmed, but also because of both the construction costs and an often unattractive architectural impact on the area.
  • flap gates are also known, arranged on the seabed from where they can be tilted upwards about a horizontal axis by the seabed when there is a stemming need.
  • this entire structure is arranged on the seabed, which of course also requires extensive construction and foundation work.
  • there are a number of challenges in maintaining the structure as sanding up and sediment deposition will typically occur over time, to which should of course be added the common challenge of supervision and maintenance of a structure mounted underwater.
  • the structure is complicated and very costly to establish at the bottom of a fjord or similar.
  • Another variant of a gate system are the so-called Moses gates, which are known from Venice. These gates are also arranged on the seabed in a foundation, but are raised simply by allowing compressed air to displace water from the interior of the gate elements. This increases the buoyancy of said gate elements which therefore rise from the seabed and act as a high water protection. This solution avoids complex and vulnerable chain drives or other hoisting facilities to raise the gate elements from the seabed. Maintenance-wise and inspection-wise, there is no immediate difference between Moses gates and the flap gates mentioned above.
  • bridge barriers require considerable foundations and/or structures, which are typically large and unsightly and, not least, costly to establish and to replace when needed.
  • the reason for the size of the foundations/structures is that they must be able to withstand the horizontal forces that arise when water has to be withheld from entering a given area.
  • the forces on the two respective sides of a bridge barrier naturally remain in balance as long as the water level is the same on both sides, but when the water level rises on the one side, horizontal forces arise, which must be absorbed into the foundation of the structure in question.
  • a further disadvantage of the known bridge barriers is that they do not allow pedestrian or vehicular passage across the water surface of the area.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a solution for a bridge barrier in which a good, efficient and simple solution is achieved, whereby a rising water level can be retained on an outer side of a bridge barrier, thereby avoiding or at least minimising any flooding of a low-lying area on the rear side of said bridge barrier.
  • the object is also to provide a bridge barrier, wherein the at least one blocking element, when it is not in operation for establishing protection, may be used as a bridge for pedestrian or vehicular passage across the water surface of the area.
  • the invention relates to the bridge barrier referred to above and in the preamble of claim 1, which is novel in that the bridge barrier comprises:
  • the blocking element has a first position and a second position in relation to the support, wherein the second position is established in an operating situation for protection
  • the blocking element is supported in the first position on a first support face of the support, and wherein a surface of the blocking element is horizontal and may be used as a bridge for pedestrian or vehicular passage across the water surface of the area;
  • the blocking element is supported in the second position on a second support face of the support and is located with the contact face in the form of a first side edge on the surface of the blocking element in contact with the contact face of the bottom rail system;
  • the method of the invention is distinctive in that the establishment of said bridge barrier comprises at least the following method steps:
  • the blocking element so that it has a first position and a second position in relation to the support, wherein the blocking element is supported in the first position on the first support face of the support, and wherein a surface of the blocking element is horizontal and may be used as a bridge for pedestrian or vehicular passage across the water surface of the area, and wherein the blocking element is supported in the second position on the second support face of the support and is located with the contact face in the form of a first side edge on the surface of the blocking element in contact with the contact face of the bottom rail system, so as to establish an operating situation for protection against a rising water level in the front area from entering into the rear area, the opposite second side face of the surface in the second position of the blocking element being vertically higher than the first support face of the support, and the second support face being closer to the foundation than the first support face.
  • actuators are provided between the blocking element and the support for establishing the movement between the first and second positions of the blocking element.
  • connection between a blocking element and the support is established, for example, by hinges and rails with sliding guideways for their mutual rotation and displacement. Rotation then occurs around a axis of rotation defined by the hinge, and displacement occurs along a sliding rail or similar sliding face on the support.
  • the bottom rail system may be U- or I-shaped and cooperate with a matching shape on the respective blocking elements.
  • this may advantageously be fixed with driven piles, a sheet wall, or the bottom rail system may be fixed with the known "suction bucket" principle.
  • the bottom rail system can be laid out in sections that are placed and anchored using suitable processes on the bottom. Subsequently, or concurrently with or before, the support is placed by driving piles into the bottom which extend to a position above normal daily water level. At the upper end of the piles, the beam structure is mounted, which provides the first and second support faces for the blocking element.
  • the blocking elements are then placed on the beam structure.
  • the piles allow water to pass freely under the blocking element when it is not in operation for the protection of the rear area.
  • the blocking elements will be located on the first support face and can be said to constitute bridge elements that allow pedestrian or vehicular passage across the area on the horizontal surface of the blocking elements.
  • Construction costs are relatively low due to the simple principle of construction.
  • the bridge barrier will typically be established to protect, for example, a port or residential area against flooding in connection with a storm surge or another situation that may result in an unwanted water level increase. It will therefore typically be seawater that is blocked, which is why the blocking elements are typically designed to rotate to one side of the support, namely away from land, so that the water pushes from the outer side. This pushes the blocking elements into contact against the contact face of the bottom rail.
  • the design can also withstand a water pressure from the land side if actuators are used to retain the structure.
  • the bridge barrier may be arranged with a bottom rail system on either side of the support, and the support may be arranged with a second support face on either side of the first support face.
  • the blocking elements can be rotated both ways in relation to the support.
  • the bridge barrier of the invention may be distinctive in that the blocking element is adapted for rotation between the first position and the second position.
  • the blocking element By rotating the blocking element in relation to the support, the blocking element can be changed between the first position with the horizontal face acting as a bridge, to a second position in which the blocking element is in operation to protect the rear area in the event of high tide, a storm surge or similar in a front area of the bridge barrier.
  • the rotation may be carried out in a simple manner by the blocking element being attached to the support via hinge connections. If the blocking element has a width and the hinge is placed in an appropriate position on the support, the rotation may be carried out so that the first side edge of the blocking element is placed in contact with the contact face of the bottom rail system, while the blocking element rests on the second support face of the support. This may be done in a simple manner by appropriate sizing of the elements forming part of the bridge barrier.
  • the bridge barrier of the invention may therefore be distinctive in that the blocking element is also adapted for a translational displacement in relation to the support.
  • the blocking element may be displaced translationally after rotation to bring the first side edge into contact with the bottom rail system.
  • the translational displacement may be carried out by a rail system being provided at the underside of the blocking element, which is in abutment with the support. This allows sliding guideways or sliding rails located on the second support face of the support and the underside of the blocking elements to allow for the mutual displacement.
  • the bridge barrier of the invention may be distinctive in that the angle between the surface in the first and second positions is between 45° and 90°, preferably between 60° and 90°, and more preferably between 70° and 80°.
  • the angle is as large as possible so that the blocking element may be provided with an approximately vertical orientation with its first side edge resting on the bottom rail system. This achieves the highest height of the bridge barrier. Similarly, an approximately vertical orientation will also ensure that rising water from a front area cannot be pushed over the blocking element in the event of waves.
  • the blocking element may, at the opposite second side that is swung upwards, be provided with a wall perpendicular to the surface of the blocking element.
  • This perpendicular wall may serve as a handrail when the blocking element is in its first position and may serve to prevent the risk of waves crashing over the second edge of the blocking element in an operating situation.
  • the bridge barrier of the invention may be distinctive in that the bottom rail system comprises a sheet wall or a series of juxtaposed piles driven into the bottom and a rail mounted thereon, which comprises the contact face of the rail system.
  • this embodiment ensures inexpensive anchoring of the bottom rail system on the bottom. Especially when establishing a bridge barrier with a considerable extension in the longitudinal direction, this embodiment is advantageous, since the establishment of conventional foundations is often too expensive.
  • the bridge barrier of the invention may be distinctive in that the support is formed by a series of juxtaposed piles driven into the bottom and beam structures mounted thereon, which form the first and second support faces.
  • the support for the blocking element is formed by juxtaposed piles, free water passage between the piles is possible when the blocking element is in its first position and acts as a bridge. In this situation, the piles and the beam structure will extend not only above the seabed, but also to a position above the water surface at normal water level.
  • the beam structure may have the first support face located at a distance of 1 to 10 metres above the water surface at normal water level.
  • the bridge barrier of the invention will typically be used in situations with a water level difference of up to about 3 metres.
  • the height of the first support face above the water surface at normal water level will typically be 1-2 metres.
  • the bridge barrier may be located in a land area adjacent to the front water area and thus be located in a land area where the rear land area must be protected against a rising water level in the front water area.
  • a land area will typically be a wetland where passage along the water area is difficult and where a bridge barrier with the blocking element in the first position may advantageously be used for pedestrian or vehicular passage in the same way as is known from path and road systems on top of dykes used along the water area to protect the rear land area.
  • the height of the dyke may be reduced or a dyke may be completely replaced by a bridge barrier.
  • the land surface can be said to be a ‘bottom’, since the land surface will form a bottom at high water levels that flood the adjacent land area.
  • the bottom rail system may be in contact with the first side edge of the blocking element, so that rotation of the blocking element takes place around the contact face between the first side edge and the contact face of the bottom rail system.
  • the bottom rail system may then have its contact face located approximately at the level of the land surface.
  • the support for the blocking element will be formed by two parallel walls, wherein the blocking element in its first position rests against contact faces on top of the two walls, which are piled into the land area, so that their upper side is approximately level with the ground surface.
  • the two walls may be interconnected by a bottom wall or by beams located between the two walls.
  • the bottom wall or the beams may serve to support actuators to provide the rotation of the blocking element.
  • the abutment of the actuators with the underside of the blocking elements can be said to constitute the second support face for the blocking elements in the second position.
  • the height of the first support face of the beam structure above the seabed and above the surface of normal water level will depend on the risk of high water level in the front area in the event of a storm surge, tide or high tide.
  • the bridge barrier of the invention may be distinctive in that the first support face is horizontal and is formed by the upper side of a series of juxtaposed beam structures.
  • the first support face does not have to be a contiguous face. It may advantageously be formed by a series of juxtaposed beam structures, wherein the upper side of an upper beam is preferably horizontal.

L'invention concerne en outre un procédé permettant de faire fonctionner une telle barrière de pont. La nouveauté d'une barrière de pont selon l'invention est que l'élément de blocage présente une première position dans laquelle une surface de l'élément de blocage est horizontale et peut être utilisée comme pont pour un passage de piéton ou de véhicule, et une seconde position, qui est établie dans une situation de fonctionnement pour la protection et ayant un premier bord latéral sur la surface de l'élément de blocage en contact avec le système de rail inférieur et avec la seconde face latérale opposée verticalement plus haute que la première face de support du support.
