Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method for erecting a temporary flood wall construction along a waterside comprising at least one gabion cage.
  • Gabion cages or basket-like containers are a.o. described in GB-A-726.859 ; GB-A-845.863 ; GB-A-1.567.830 ; EP-B-466.726 and many other patent documents.
  • the use of gabions or gabion cages filled with rubble, stones, earth, sand or like material for constructing sea and river defences is generally known.
  • a disadvantage of these known sea and river defence constructions with gabions is that the filling operation of the gabion cages, e.g. on the building site, is a cumbersome and time-consuming operation.
  • the invention proposes for a method mentioned in the opening lines that the gabion cage is securely fixed to the bottom, that at least the bottom panel and the rear panel of the gabion cage are provided with an impermeable lining and that the front panel of the gabion cage is provided with openings allowing the flood water entering the gabion cage when the flood water is rising and exiting the gabion cage when the flood water is subsiding.
  • the side panels of some gabions are also provided with an impermeable lining.
  • a great advantage of the method according to the invention is that the flood water itself is used as filling material for the gabion cages during the rising of the flood water. In this way, the gabions filled with water form a natural barrier or dam.
  • each of the gabion cages is also provided with an impermeable lining ; this allows each of the gabion cages to form a separate cell for the collection of rising flood water.
  • Figure 1 shows a river 1 and a land-area 2.
  • the water level in the river 1 is as shown in the figures and there is no danger of flood at the landside 2.
  • a temporary flood wall construction 3 in a quick manner to protect the land-area 2.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show how several gabion cages 4 are placed next to each other along the waterside. These cages 4 are fixed securely to the bottom e.g. by means of spikes 5. As can be seen from figure 2, the bottom panel 6 of the cage 4 is provided with an extension 7 for obtaining a better anchoring or fixation of the whole bottom panel to the bottom. Other means can be provided for obtaining a strong anchoring or fixation of the cages 4 to the bottom.
  • an impermeable lining 8 is applied against the bottom panel 6 and the rear panel 9 of each gabion cage 4.
  • This lining 8 is only shown in figure 2 and not in figure 1 for the clarity of the drawing.
  • the bottom panel 6 and the rear panel 9 of each cage 4 consists of two identical superimposed welded mesh panels, whereby the impermeable lining 8 is fixed between these two welded mesh panels.
  • each gabion cage 4 is preferably made of welded mesh and is in this way provided with openings 11.
  • Each cage 4 can have an upper panel 12 forming a hingable lid. In closed position of the upper panel 12 a cage with greater stability is obtained.
  • the openings 11 in the front panel 10 allow the flood water of the river 1 to enter the gabion cages 4 when the flood water is rising in the river 1 and to exit or leave the gabion cages 4 when the flood water is subsiding or lowering in the river 1. In this way the flood water is filling the gabion cages and is automatically forming the filling material of the cages 4 in emergency cases.
  • the gabion cages 4 as well as the panels of the gabion cages 4 can have different forms than learned in the figures 1 and 2. It is e.g. possible to use gabion cages 4 as learned in the EP-B-466.726, whereby the bottom panel 6 shows a hexagonal form and whereby each rear panel 9 consists of two panels forming an obtuse angle with each other.
