Portable wall for use as flood barrier has wall modules consisting of triangular baseplates with two wall panels fastened together side-by-side and held in place by ground anchors

摘要

Each wall module (1,2) consists of a baseplate shaped as an equilateral triangle, carrying two wall panels which may be at an obtuse angle to each other. The edge where the two panels meet faces away from the flood (8). The edge or corner (4) is reinforced at the top, and has an eye for a karabiner hook on a cable (5) with a tensioning screw. A karabiner hook on the other end of the cable is fastened to an eye on top of a ground anchor (6). A frame (3) on the base of each wall element carries a second ground anchor (9) which prevents sliding of the base of the wall. Each baseplate rests on a sealing sheet (7). Adjacent sealing sheets overlap, and the wall modules fit together side-by-side.
