METHOD FOR INCREASING RELIABILITY OF LIQUID INDUSTRIAL WASTE STORAGE UNIT Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC E02B7/06 

FIELD: hydraulic engineering.

SUBSTANCE: the invention relates to hydraulic engineering and can be used in liquid industrial waste storage units, especially for liquid waste capable of solidifying and forming cracks. The method includes the use of material and technical reserves to ensure that the storage unit is protected from possible damage and emergency situation in the bund wall and its base. The said situation can occur when accumulating waste which can potentially solidify and form a crack crossing the settling pond, strandline and the bund wall. The reserves include a roll of polymer material in the form of blanket rolled on the axis, and means of its transportation to the required location at the storage unit and unrolling it from the axis to place the blanket on the bottom of settling pond above the crack. Each end of the axis if fitted with a ball bearing.

EFFECT: quick elimination of rapid water drain through the crack in solidified waste.
