Abstract
A module for implementing a protective barrier against liquid runoff and/or flooding comprising a retention member adapted to retain a liquid body on a front area located at a front side of the protective barrier, one or more sensors adapted to acquire at least one information about the module or about the liquid body, a relief valve, the relief valve being adapted to be actuated from a closed state to an open state according to the information acquired and provided by the sensor, and related system and method.
Claims16
A module for implementing a protective barrier against liquid runoff and/or flooding, the module comprising:
- a base adapted to anchor the module to the ground, the base being a liquid-filled holding tank,
- a wall forming a retention member and extending substantially in a vertical direction from the base, the wall being adapted to retain a liquid body on a front area located at a front side of the protective barrier,
- at least one sensor adapted to acquire at least one information about the module or about the liquid body;
- at least one relief valve, the relief valve being movable between a closed state and an open state, wherein in the open state the relief valve lets liquid flow from the front area to a rear area, wherein the relief valve is adapted to be actuated from the closed state to the open state according to the at least one information acquired and provided by the sensor.
