Floating barrage element comprising a flexible tension-resistant reinforcement.

摘要

Floating barrage element. This barrage element comprises a flexible tension-resistant reinforcement 2, 3 equipped with transverse stiffeners 4 to which inflatable floats 7 are connected, the stiffeners 4 delimiting with one another barrage sections, at least one 1a of which comprises means for tensioning the reinforcement by spacing the two stiffeners 4 delimiting this section. It is characterised in that this tensioning occurs as a result of a longitudinal spacing thrust exerted by the inflation pressure of the floats 7, this thrust being transmitted to the stiffeners 4 by means of connecting members 12. The invention is used for combatting water pollution. <IMAGE>
