ANTIEROSION COVER Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: hydraulic engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention refers to equipment protecting banks and slopes from destruction by water currents, it can find use in road building, hydraulic engineering and ameliorative construction, in laying of main pipe-lines on slopes. Cover comes in the form of carpet of strips of reinforced elastomer material put up-edge, bent many times in opposite directions and joined in bending points by means of bands or clamps of elastomer material in staggered order with formation of links with two adjacent strips.
