<p>Abstract: The invention relates to a modular dike which is intended for shore protection. The inventive dike is based on a reduced number of different prismatic, tubular modules (1), (2), (3), (4), including one quadrangular-section module, two triangular-section modules and a straight trapezoidal-section module. The aforementioned modules are equipped with tongue-and-groove coupling means (5-6) for the stacking thereof and lateral fixing means (10-11), such that it is possible to produce a dike of any width, height and section. Moreover, the modules have a thickness of the order of 2.5 metres, a similar height and a length of between 6 and 12 metres. In this way, the dimensions of the modules are suitable for the standard containers that are used to transport goods by road and, more specifically, the constituent modules of the dike can be transported by road on the standard transport network used for said containers. Furthermore, the modules are provided with large lightening holes (8) and, following installation, said modules can be stabilised using, among other means, sand-filled geotextile bags (14) which are disposed therein.</p> |
