| 20100193512 | GABIONS - The present invention relates to a gabion comprising at least one individual compartment for receiving, in use of the gabion, a fill material, the or each individual compartment of the gabion being bounded by at least one wall material forming at least one closed panel around the or each individual compartment effective for retaining the fill material in the or each compartment in use of the gabion, the wall material having sufficient flexibility to allow the gabion to be folded and/or rolled in a first pre-deployment configuration in which the pre-deployed gabion is restrained in its first configuration by a form of restraining means, the wall material having sufficient resilience such that when the gabion is released from its restraining means it tends to unfold and/or unroll from its first configuration towards or to a second deployment configuration in which the gabion is erected and able to receive in its individual compartment(s) the fill material, the wail material having sufficient rigidity such that the gabion is self supporting in its second configuration. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100143049 | GABIONS - A single box gabion is disclosed. The gabion comprises interconnected side walls. Each side wall comprises at least one substantially closed side wall element panel that prevents a gabion fill material from falling through the side wall without the aid of a gabion lining material. The single box gabion can be coupled together to form a modular gabion structure to protect military or civilian installations from weapons assault or from elemental forces, such as flood waters, lava flows, avalanches, soil instability, slope erosion and the like. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100107938 | PROTECTIVE SHELTER - A protective shelter that provides protection within a war zone and which can be readily assembled in a quick, secure and reliable manner. The shelter is formed of opposite outer walls and a roof structure extending therebetween, wherein the roof structure comprises a plurality of tray members supported by beam supports and in which the plurality of tray members is arranged to receive earth, sand or aggregate material so as to provide a first layer of protection via the roof structure. The tray members can be supported by beams serving to define a shallow arch across the shelter such that the internal height of the shelter centrally, and away from the opposite walls, is greater than the height of the said walls. | 05-06-2010 |
