The reinforcing/filtering component consists of a parallelepiped cage (1) of metal wire mesh filled with side walls (2) cut from used motor vehicle tires, either in a random pile or in stacks (3) of the same height or lower than the depth of the cage and bound together. The reinforcing/filtering component consists of a parallelepiped cage (1) of metal wire mesh filled with side walls (2) cut from used motor vehicle tires, either in a random pile or in stacks (3) of the same height or lower than the depth of the cage and bound together. One or more surfaces of the cage, and especially its base, has a lining of a geotextile material, and it can have transverse inner partitions. It is made in the form of an open-topped basket and fitted with a cover once it has been filled with the used tire side walls. A barrier for trapping oil at sea can be made from a series of cages with inflated rolls on either side for buoyancy. |
