Patent

CA 2272472

A flotation system for a building (300) is disclosed including a watertight basement (540) having a unitary piece of concrete forming the floor and walls (615) of the watertight basement (540). Rollers (610) are attached to the watertight basement (540). As floodwater rises or recedes, the rollers (610) roll along guide posts (310) located near corners of the watertight basement (540). Attached to the guide posts (310) are a ratchet system (620) for moving the watertight basement (540) along the guide posts (310) and maintaining it at a desired height. A preferred embodiment includes pressurized cylinders (1550) for lifting the building (300) prior to a surge of floodwater.

L'invention concerne un système de flottation destiné à un bâtiment (300), qui comprend un soubassement (540) étanche comportant un élément unitaire en béton formant le sol et les parois (615). Des galets (610) sont fixés sur ledit soubassement (540). Quand l'eau de crue monte ou descend, les galets (610) roulent le long de poteaux de guidage (310) situés près des coins du soubassement (540). Un système de rochet (620) fixé sur les poteaux de guidage (310) permet de déplacer le soubassement (540) le long desdits poteaux (310) et de le maintenir à la hauteur désirée. Un mode de réalisation préféré comporte des cylindres sous pression (1550) qui permettent de soulever le bâtiment (300) avant une montée des eaux.
