MANUFACTURING METHOD OF SOIL GEOCONTAINER Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC E02B1/00 B28B7/22 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: method involves soil loading to container, its compaction, stripping of container and unloading of the finished product. Prior to soil loading to inner cavity of rigid container-shaper there submerged is flexible container from geotextile, the sides of which are pre-covered on outer side with geotextile strips that are located in the middle of each of outer sides of flexible container. Overall dimensions of container-shaper are specified depending on the shape and weight of geocontainer. Overall dimensions of flexible container are set so that they exceed overall dimensions of container-shaper; the height shall correspond to the appropriate height of container-shaper and be higher than it by the length that is enough for further connection and bending of upper free parts of flexible container so that inner space for arrangement of detachable metal cross-beam in it is formed. Prior to submersion the hinged sides of container-shaper are fixed in vertical position, flexible container is submerged into it and single forming inner cavity is formed. Upper parts of flexible container, which go beyond the limits of container-former, are folded together with straps to external sides of its hinged sides and fixed. Soil is filled to the single inner forming cavity till container-shaper is fully loaded. Soil compaction is performed layer by layer till solid soil in the form of volumetric soil geocontainer is formed. After that, from external sides of hinged sides of container-shaper there removed are folded free upper parts of flexible container and together with straps lifted, connected, folded, and two locking metal plates are applied to those parts on both sides and they are connected in rigid manner till inner space is formed. Ends of free part of flexible container are left so that they go from under locking metal plate. In the formed inner space there arranged is detachable metal cross-beam with two ring-shaped elements, one of which is countersunk. Hinged sides of container-shaper are opened, both ring-shaped elements of cross-beam are grasped and soil geocontainer is removed.

EFFECT: increasing efficiency of manufacturing technology of geocontainer of volumetric design with increased strength, improved reliability and reinforcing ability to resist waves and streams.
