PREFABRICATED FLEXIBLE BARRIER TO ENSURE ECOLOGICAL SAFETY OF PUBLIC AND TERRITORIES AGAINST EFFECTS OF EMERGENCIES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC E02B3/06 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: invention is aimed for use in provision of ecological safety of public and territories in emergencies of natural and anthropogenic nature, as an engineering barrier, and also as a composite part of engineering equipment during construction and operation of oil terminals, oil storage tanks, during arrangement of landfills for temporary and permanent storage of solid wastes and other potentially dangerous objects. A prefabricated flexible barrier is proposed, comprising collapsible multi-section gabion modules of necessary length, rigidly connected to each other with the help of locks mounted into any configuration, tightness of which is provided by soft aprons on end sections of modules, on top the gabion modules are trimmed with fabric or polymer coating, and as a filler between the adjacent gabion modules they use natural sorbent - glauconite or its mixture with another suitable natural sorbent, the structure is installed on the previously filled layer of sorbent and along the external perimeter is lined with absorbing mats. The structure is additionally equipped with mounted diagnostic and measurement equipment, the suitable natural sorbent is schungite, bentonite, clay, zeolyte, perlite, vermiculite or their mixture.

EFFECT: reduced labour costs and time for installation of a barrier, reduced material intensity, exclusion of filtration of oil, oil products, poisonous and toxic substances via a barrier.
