There was a long time ago there was a tendency to popularity of land plots near the reservoirs of both natural and artificial. Any reservoir has properties to pollute, and for the shores are characterized by destruction and degradation over time. Therefore, to obtain a secure environment, the timely strengthening of the banks of the pond is required.

It is very important to monitor the proper state of the shores at the close location of any buildings, squeezing and fuzzy boundaries can contribute to the destruction of structures. In addition to the need for strengthening measures contribute to obtaining a refined area.

Existing coastline strengthening methods

Long success is achieved when using comprehensive measures, ways to strengthen the shore of the pond are divided into:

• biological;
• technical.

The first suggests the use of special plants, such as cane landing or herbaceous species. They weaken erosion processes and limit the flow of surface waters. But as a lack, a noticeable effect of biological techniques can be distinguished only with time, so we need to fix the result by technical means. Technical techniques are the strengthening of the coastline by Gabion structures, the use of geogmes or special mattresses. The choice of each method is determined depending on the terrain landscape and the existing conditions.

Studying the situation - the need for determining the measures taken

Engineering preparation of territories for the arrangement of the bank of the Pond involves the study of the surrounding conditions:

• determination of sections with steep slopes;
• examination of the entire coastal strip;
• determining these water level and other hydrological indicators.

A reliable coastline is characterized by stability in unaffected state, otherwise you will have to change the slopes steepness, the required values \u200b\u200bare determined by calculations.

Used technical base

Typically, when they use heavy techniques, such as tractors or bulldozers, dredgers. The latter are needed to fill geomates and lattices with bottom sediments or other materials. But for small ponds, manual farms are quite suitable, they allow you to fulfill the entire process quickly and with an effective result. Dredgers have low weight and compact dimensions, which contributes to the movement of equipment manually in the territory.

Main methods suitable for the design of gentle slopes

For the canopy shores are used: geomates, grids, grids and mattresses.

1. Geomates are a structure of polymer fibers, they are waterproof. After laying, they are sowed by perennial herbs, thanks to the growth of the root system, a strong carpet is obtained. It can withstand heavy loads, steadfast processes and leaning storm flows.
2. Strengthening the shores of the pond by geovel is considered one of the most effective ways, it goes in the form of a bulk design of polymer tapes. They are fastened to separate cells located in a checker. The geovel stretch over the surface of the slope, the laid frame is fixed with anchors. Next, filling is carried out with rubble or soil, followed by planting plants. The roots serve as an additional reinforcement of the coastal slope.
3. Strengthening the shores of the pond with their own hands with the use of geography. For this, coastal slope is planned, and work to give the necessary form and leveling the surface. A gentle slope looks more naturally, and subsequently the resulting design will be distinguished by reliability and durability. From the soil, it is necessary to remove the fertile layer and disseminate the grille, the fixing of each module is carried out by anchors in a checker order. Between themselves, the modules are fastened with brackets with a stapler, then carry out work to fill the cells with a mixture of soil and necessary additives.
4. Mattresses are planar gabion structures produced from a metal grid with a special coating. Stiffness structures gives separation into sections internal diaphragms. The monolith of the laid coating is ensured by filling with natural stones. The minimum life is at least 25 years. In addition to strengthening the shores, they cope with the protection of the bottom from the erosion.

Ways to strengthen the ripples

With a cliff of the shore, use: retaining walls, piles and gabions.

1. The retaining walls are ideal for the terrain with a complex relief, they are erected from stone, bricks, concrete or finished blocks. Such a finishing of the shores of the pond allows you to expand the space, to completely change the perception of its volume. To maintain large loads during the construction of walls, drains are designed. They reduce the mass of the soil when sediments appear, because water goes to the ground. The drains are holes through which the liquid goes down the slope.
2. One of the options that are distinguished by reliability is considered to use reinforced concrete piles. But to strengthen the shores of the pond in the country, the use of wooden piles will be the ideal solution. Basically use such rocks as oak and larch, their properties provide a reliable design for 50 years or more. Strengthening the shore of the pond larch gives aesthetic attractiveness and reliability of the slopes. Wood trunks fit into any natural landscape, and the lack of need to care for the entire service life is increasingly adherents. The embodiment of strengthening of wooden piles is possible for shallow and small reservoirs. Because the tree itself is light, the design can be disturbed at winter water levels.
3. Strengthening the shores of the pond by Gabions allows you to create unique protection against destruction and landslides, a natural landscape is preserved for a long time. They are blocks filled with stone materials - it can be cobblestones or pebbles. The mesh structure leaves the resistance to the structures to the mobility of the soil and the effects of groundwater. The guaranteed deadlines are 80 years, while every year the strength of gabions increases due to the sprouted vegetation.
