摘要 |
The present invention relates to a water containment system 10 comprising an elongate reinforcement member 22, ballast material 14 located against at least one side of the elongate reinforcement member, an erosion inhibiting layer 26 overlying, or at least partially embedded in, a surface of the ballast material, wherein the erosion inhibiting layer is anchored to the ballast material. The elongate reinforcement member may be formed from three multi-compartment gabions 24a, 24b & 24c. The erosion inhibiting layer may be formed by a high performance turf reinforcement mat. The present invention also relates to a method of constructing a water containment system, a method of rapidly deploying a water containment system, a method of transforming a rapidly deployed water containment system from a temporary structure to at least a semi-permanent structure, and a method of re-conditioning a water containment structure.
