Abstract

The structure (3) has a core (9) formed from a mixture of soil and stones, and a wall formed of gabions (7a, 7b) leaning against the core. The gabions are partially filled with growing beads (19), where each bead includes a retention sheet (21) filled with growing medium (23). The sheet is arranged such that the sheet is shown on a visible face of the gabions to assure a continuity of the medium with the core. The core is confined between an acoustic screen and the wall. The sheet is made of a material chosen among geotextile, non-woven textile and geomeshes made of natural fibers.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à une structure comprenant un mur en gabions.The present invention relates to a structure comprising a gabion wall.

On connaît de la technique antérieure l'utilisation de gabions pour réaliser des murs, à des fins de soutènement, de séparation ou bien encore à des fins essentiellement décoratives.It is known from the prior art the use of gabions for making walls, for purposes of support, separation or for essentially decorative purposes.

Comme cela est connu en soi, un gabion comprend une cage de préférence métallique, remplie de matériaux tels que des pierres, briques, ou tout autre matériau pondéreux. En cas de fonction de soutènement, les matériaux de remplissage répondent à des critères techniques précis.As is known per se, a gabion comprises a preferably metal cage, filled with materials such as stones, bricks, or other heavy material. In case of support function, the filling materials meet specific technical criteria.

Les gabions, empilés les uns sur les autres, et disposés selon la géométrie souhaitée et les impératifs techniques liés à leur fonction de destination, permettent de constituer des murs dont l'apparence est adaptable à l'environnement de l'ouvrage : il suffit en effet de choisir le matériau de remplissage, dans les limites techniques correspondant à la destination finale de l'ouvrage, présentant les caractéristiques visuelles qui conviennent.The gabions, stacked on top of one another and arranged according to the desired geometry and the technical requirements linked to their destination function, make it possible to form walls whose appearance is adaptable to the environment of the structure: effect of choosing the filling material, within the technical limits corresponding to the final destination of the structure, having the appropriate visual characteristics.

Lorsque le mur de gabions remplit une fonction de soutènement d'ouvrage en terre, il est adossé à un matériau de remblai adapté et dimensionné à son usage selon les normes en vigueur. De par ses caractéristiques fortement pondéreuses, le mur de gabions assure la stabilité de l'ouvrage auquel il est adossé.When the gabion wall fulfills a function of retaining the earthwork, it is leaned against a backfill material adapted and dimensioned for its use according to the standards in force. Due to its heavy weight characteristics, the gabion wall ensures the stability of the structure to which it is attached.

Dans le cas d'un remblai, ceci permet notamment d'envisager de soutenir des infrastructures telles que des voies de circulation piétonne, cyclable, automobile.In the case of an embankment, this makes it possible, in particular, to consider supporting infrastructure such as pedestrian, bicycle and automobile traffic routes.

Dans le milieu ferroviaire, le soutènement par le biais de gabions est restreint selon les référentiels techniques en vigueur et les procédures de dérogations éventuelles concernant son usage.In the railway sector, support by means of gabions is restricted according to the technical standards in force and the procedures for possible derogations concerning its use.

Depuis quelques temps, on cherche à diversifier l'apparence des murs de soutènement en gabions en y fixant des végétaux, censés pousser sur la face visible de ces murs.For some time, we have sought to diversify the appearance of gabion retaining walls by fixing plants, supposed to grow on the visible face of these walls.

On connaît notamment, des demandes de brevet EP2050331 et KR2003-0080711 , des gabions comprenant, du côté de leur face visible, une couche de terre végétale emprisonnée dans une structure de rétention (formée par exemple de fibres de coco).In particular, patent applications are known EP2050331 and KR2003-0080711 , gabions comprising, on the side of their visible face, a topsoil layer trapped in a retention structure (formed for example of coconut fibers).

Dans la terre végétale peuvent prendre racines des plantes ou herbes qui alors se développent sur la face visible des gabions.In the topsoil can take roots from plants or herbs that then grow on the visible side of the gabions.

Bien qu'à leur mise en place de tels gabions présentent un aspect végétalisé très satisfaisant, il s'avère à l'usage que les végétaux dépérissent assez rapidement, à moins de faire l'objet d'un entretien très suivi, et d'un arrosage rigoureusement contrôlé et constant dans le temps.Although in their establishment of such gabions have a very satisfactory vegetal aspect, it turns out that plants lose their life rather quickly, unless they are the object of a very careful interview, and of watering rigorously controlled and constant over time.

La présente invention a ainsi notamment pour but de fournir une structure comprenant un mur en gabions qui puisse être végétalisé sans obligation d'arrosage spécifique à terme ou une fois les végétaux établis.The present invention is thus particularly intended to provide a structure comprising a gabion wall that can be vegetated without obligation of specific watering term or once established plants.

On atteint ce but de l'invention avec une structure comprenant un remblai particulier, dit « noyau terre/pierre », pouvant être contenu dans une ou plusieurs boites de gabions, et un mur en gabions adossé à ce noyau, remarquable en ce que lesdits gabions sont remplis en partie de boudins de culture, chaque boudin de culture comprenant un nappe de rétention remplie de substrat de culture, la nappe de rétention étant disposée de manière, d'une part à affleurer sur la face visible des gabions, et d'autre part à assurer la continuité du substrat avec ledit noyau.This object of the invention is achieved with a structure comprising a particular embankment, called "earth / stone core", which may be contained in one or more boxes of gabions, and a gabion wall leaning against this core, remarkable in that said gabions are filled in part with culture flasks, each culture flange comprising a retention ply filled with culture substrate, the retention ply being arranged so as, on the one hand, to be flush with the visible face of the gabions, and on the other hand to ensure continuity of the substrate with said core.

Cette structure peut être combinée sur la face opposée au mur de gabions végétalisé avec une autre structure assurant une fonction décorative ou de soutènement de tout type (mur béton, mur de gabions, terre armée, panneaux métal, écran acoustique, platelage bois...etc...). Cette face opposée peut également être un autre mur de gabions végétalisé du même type et restant visible.This structure can be combined on the opposite side to the wall of gabions planted with another structure providing a decorative function or support of any type (concrete wall, gabion wall, reinforced ground, metal panels, acoustic screen, decking wood ... etc ...). This opposite face may also be another green wall of Gabion of the same type and remaining visible.

Grâce à ces caractéristiques, on peut planter dans les boudins de culture, du côté de la face visible des gabions, des végétaux qui prendront racine dans le substrat de culture : on réalise pour cela des trous dans les boudins pour y enraciner les végétaux appropriés.Thanks to these characteristics, plants can be planted in the cultivars, on the side of the visible face of the gabions, plants that will take root in the culture substrate: holes are made in the sausages to root appropriate plants.

Par la suite, du fait de la communication des boudins avec le noyau faisant également office de substrat complémentaire de culture, l'alimentation en eau des végétaux s'effectue notamment par l'eau de pluie qui traverse le noyau et se diffuse par capillarité : on peut de la sorte s'affranchir d'un arrosage fastidieux.Subsequently, because of the communication of the strands with the core also serving as a complementary crop substrate, the water supply of the plants is carried out in particular by the rainwater which flows through the core and diffuses by capillarity: in this way we can get rid of a tedious watering.

Suivant d'autres caractéristiques optionnelles de la structure selon l'invention :

  • ledit noyau comporte lui aussi des éléments formant substrat de culture : ceci permet au végétaux plantés sur la face visible des murs en gabions d'aller puiser leurs réserves nutritives non seulement dans les boudins de culture, mais également dans le noyau qui se trouve derrière. Les racines de fait explorent préférentiellement les poches terreuses au sein des compartiments contenant le substrat de culture (19 & 9) et s'orientent par thigmotropisme au contact des granulats. Les racines se dirigeront vers le noyau 9 sous l'effet d'un hygrotropisme positif. Ce noyau 9 est en effet un milieu moins sec que l'ensemble 7, moins protégé de l'action de l'atmosphère extérieure et plus drainant.
According to other optional characteristics of the structure according to the invention:
  • said nucleus also comprises culture substrate elements: this allows the plants planted on the visible side of the gabionic walls to draw their nutritive reserves not only in the culture puddles, but also in the nucleus behind it. Roots de facto preferentially explore the earthy pockets within the compartments containing the culture substrate (19 & 9) and are oriented by thigmotropism in contact with the aggregates. The roots will go to the core 9 under the effect of a positive hygrotropism. This core 9 is indeed a less dry medium than the assembly 7, less protected from the action of the outside atmosphere and more draining.

Par ailleurs, dans la phase d'installation ce contraste sera renforcé par alimentation en eau préférentielle de cet ensemble 9 pour aider cette orientation. Une fois installée au sein de ce noyau 9, les racines des plantes augmentent leurs potentialités de survie : le noyau 9 offre de meilleures conditions de sols et pedo-climatiques aux plantes, que les zones de parement plus sèches, et soumises plus directement aux aléas climatiques (écarts de températures, etc).Furthermore, in the installation phase this contrast will be enhanced by preferential water supply of this set 9 to help this orientation. Once installed within this nucleus 9, the roots of the plants increase their potential for survival: the core 9 offers better soil and pedo-climatic conditions to the plants, than the drier facing zones, and subjected more directly to the hazards. climatic conditions (temperature differences, etc.).

C'est également pour cela que les adventices auront plus de difficultés que sur un sol classique à s'établir au sein de l'ensemble 7, cette propriété de l'invention associée à la présence de nappes de rétention en façade n'étant pas favorables à leur venue, même si elle ne peut être exclue.This is also why weeds will have more difficulty than on a conventional soil to be established within the assembly 7, this property of the invention associated with the presence of retention plies on the facade not being favorable to their coming, even if it can not be excluded.

On obtient de la sorte des plantations très pérennes ;

  • les nappes de rétention sont formées dans un matériau choisi dans le groupe comprenant les géotextiles, les non-tissés, les géonattes en fibres d'origine naturelle : ces matériaux poreux, couramment utilisés dans le domaine horticole, permettent de retenir les fines du substrat de culture (terre végétale en général), tout en autorisant la respiration de ce substrat et les échanges avec des éléments extérieurs ;
  • le noyau est contenu par un matériau choisi dans le groupe comprenant les géotextiles et non-tissés, plaqué contre le panneau métal gabion avant le remplissage ;
  • ladite structure peut comprendre un écran acoustique, ledit noyau étant alors emprisonné entre cet écran et ledit mur en gabions : ce type d'agencement convient par exemple en bordure d'une route ou de voie ferrée dont on cherche à atténuer le rayonnement acoustique ;
  • ledit noyau peut être associé à un élément autre qu'un écran acoustique, ayant ou non une fonction de soutènement et/ou une fonction qui peut être décorative, sélectionnée par exemple dans le groupe des murs béton, des murs en gabions, des murs utilisant la technique dite de la terre armée, des platelages en bois (ou autre matériaux adaptés) ; ladite structure peut être associée à une structure de soutènement de tout type adaptée à l'usage de soutènement visé ;
  • ladite structure n'assure pas en soi de fonction de soutènement ;
  • ladite structure peut être associée à une structure spécifiquement dévolue à une fonction de soutènement, les deux pouvant éventuellement être liées physiquement par un moyen adapté aux deux structures ;
  • ladite structure est auto-stable.
In this way we obtain very perennial plantations;
  • the retention plies are formed in a material chosen from the group comprising geotextiles, nonwovens, geonattes made of fibers of natural origin: these porous materials, commonly used in the horticultural field, make it possible to retain the fines from the substrate of cultivation (topsoil in general), while allowing the respiration of this substrate and exchanges with external elements;
  • the core is contained by a material selected from the group consisting of geotextiles and nonwovens, pressed against the gabion metal panel prior to filling;
  • said structure may comprise an acoustic screen, said core then being trapped between this screen and said gabion wall: this type of arrangement is suitable for example at the edge of a road or railroad whose attenuation of acoustic radiation is sought;
  • said core may be associated with an element other than an acoustic screen, with or without a supporting function and / or a function that may be decorative, selected for example from the group of concrete walls, gabion walls, walls using the so-called reinforced earth technique, wooden decks (or other suitable materials); said structure can be associated with a support structure of any type suitable for the intended support purpose;
  • said structure does not provide support function per se;
  • said structure may be associated with a structure specifically devoted to a support function, both of which may possibly be physically linked by a means adapted to the two structures;
  • said structure is self-stable.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront à la lumière de la description qui va suivre, et à l'examen des figures ci-annexées, dans lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est un profil en travers d'une voie de circulation bordée d'une structure selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue de détail du mur en gabions végétalisé 7 et du noyau 9 de la figure 1, et
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective d'une structure selon l'invention, longeant une voie ferrée.
Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge in the light of the description which follows, and on examining the appended figures, in which:
  • the figure 1 is a profile across a traffic lane lined with a structure according to the invention,
  • the figure 2 is a detail view of the vegetated gabion wall 7 and the core 9 of the figure 1 , and
  • the figure 3 is a perspective view of a structure according to the invention, along a railway track.

On se reporte à présent à la figure 1, sur laquelle on a représenté une voie de circulation 1, piétonnière, cyclable ou pour les véhicules, bordée sur le côté gauche d'une structure 3 selon l'invention, et sur le côté droit d'un muret en gabions 5 traditionnel.We are now going back to figure 1 , on which there is shown a traffic lane 1, pedestrian, cycle or for vehicles, bordered on the left side of a structure 3 according to the invention, and on the right side of a traditional gabion wall 5.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1 , la structure 3 selon l'invention comprend un mur en gabions 7 végétalisé, adossé à un noyau 9 formé d'une association de terre et de pierres, dit « noyau terre/pierre », pouvant être contenu dans une ou plusieurs boîtes de gabions, bien que cela ne soit nullement limitatif, lui-même adossé à un écran acoustique 11 1 également fixé sur une fondation en gabions 13 servant de soutènement et surmonté par la structure 3 autostable.As can be seen on the figure 1 , the structure 3 according to the invention comprises a vegetated gabion wall 7, leaned against a core 9 formed of a combination of earth and stones, called "earth / stone core", which can be contained in one or more boxes of gabions , although this is in no way limiting, itself backed by an acoustic screen 11 1 also fixed on a gabion foundation 13 serving as a support and surmounted by the structure 3 freestanding.

L'écran acoustique 11 peut être par exemple fabriqué en béton de bois, sans pour autant que cela soit limitatif. II peut tout aussi bien être remplacé par toute structure de parement décoratif ou assurant d'autres fonctions, ou encore par une structure de soutènement ou architecturale sur laquelle viendra s'adosser la structure 3 qu'elle soit solidaire ou non selon les contraintes techniques particulières à la situation.The acoustic screen 11 may for example be made of wood concrete, without this being limiting. It may equally well be replaced by any decorative facing structure or providing other functions, or by a support structure or architecture on which will support the structure 3 that is secured or not according to the particular technical constraints to the situation.

Le noyau 9 est un mélange constitué d'un substrat adapté permettant la croissance des végétaux à installer (15 & 25) et de granulats en pierres concassées. Ce noyau participe aussi de la fonction d'auto-stabilité de la structure 3.The core 9 is a mixture consisting of a suitable substrate for the growth of plants to be installed (15 & 25) and aggregates in crushed stones. This nucleus also participates in the auto-stability function of structure 3.

On se reporte à présent plus particulièrement à la figure 2, sur laquelle on a représenté en détail le muret végétalisé 7.We are now referring more specifically to figure 2 , on which is represented in detail the green wall 7.

Comme on peut le voir sur cette figure 2, ce muret est formé d'un empilement de gabions type 7a et 7b.As we can see on this figure 2 , this wall is formed of a stack of gabions type 7a and 7b.

Comme cela est connu en soi, un gabion est formé par une cage en métal constituée de fils d'acier double torsion galvanisé revêtus ou non ou de tiges d'acier galvanisé électro-soudé, remplie d'un matériau pondéreux 17 tel que des pierres ou briques à définir selon son usage de destination notamment du point de vue technique.As is known per se, a gabion is formed by a metal cage consisting of coated or uncoated galvanized double twisted steel wires or electro-welded galvanized steel rods, filled with a heavy material 17 such as stones. or bricks to be defined according to its use of destination, particularly from the technical point of view.

Lorsque des caractéristiques d'absorption acoustiques sont recherchées, ce matériau pondéreux peut comprendre des éléments d'une nature particulière et présentant une géométrie appropriée à sa destination, comme par exemple des tripodes ou cônes en béton de bois.When acoustic absorption characteristics are sought, this heavy material may comprise elements of a particular nature and having a geometry appropriate to its destination, such as tripods or cones made of wood concrete.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2, le gabion inférieur 7a n'est rempli qu'en partie de pierres 17, et comprend sur sa partie supérieure un boudin de culture 19.As can be seen on the figure 2 , the lower gabion 7a is filled only in part with stones 17, and comprises on its upper part a sausage culture 19.

Plus précisément, ce boudin 19 est formé par une nappe 21 de rétention, remplie par un substrat de culture 23.More precisely, this bead 19 is formed by a retention ply 21 filled with a culture substrate 23.

La nappe 21 est formée par un géotextile, un non-tissé drainant, ou une géonatte en fibres d'origine naturelle telles que des fibres de coco, et le substrat de culture 23, comprenant essentiellement de la terre végétale, est adapté pour permettre la plantation et la croissance de végétaux 25.The sheet 21 is formed by a geotextile, a draining nonwoven, or a geonatte of fibers of natural origin such as coconut fibers, and the culture substrate 23, essentially comprising topsoil, is adapted to allow the planting and growing plants 25.

Comme cela est visible sur la figure 2, la nappe 21 est disposée de manière à affleurer sur la façade 27 du gabion 7a, et à permettre la communication du substrat de culture 23 avec le noyau 9.As is visible on the figure 2 , the sheet 21 is arranged to be flush with the facade 27 of the gabion 7a, and to allow the communication of the culture substrate 23 with the core 9.

En d'autres termes, la nappe de rétention 21 est fermée du côté de la face visible du gabion 7a sauf pour le passage du collet de la plante, et ouverte du côté de la face cachée de ce gabion.In other words, the retention ply 21 is closed on the side of the visible face of the gabion 7a except for the passage of the collar of the plant, and open on the side of the hidden face of this gabion.

A noter que le boudin de culture 19 peut s'étendre sur toute la longueur du gabion 7a, ou bien sur une partie seulement de cette longueur.Note that the culture bead 19 may extend over the entire length of the gabion 7a, or only a part of this length.

Les éléments en métal des cages des gabions doivent constamment rester intègres.The metal elements of the gabion cages must constantly remain intact.

De l'autre côté de la voie de circulation 1 de la figure 1, le muret en gabions 5 est classique, c'est-à-dire non végétalisé, et comporte à cet effet un empilement de deux gabions 5a, 5b remplis chacun selon les règles de l'art pour l'usage de destination.On the other side of Taxiway 1 of the figure 1 , the gabion wall 5 is traditional, that is to say not green, and has for this purpose a stack of two gabions 5a, 5b each filled according to the rules of the art for destination use.

A noter que les structures de soutènement 13 et 5 sont posées chacune dans le cas présent sur des semelles en béton 29 & 33, des drains 35, 37 étant par ailleurs prévus pour récupérer notamment les eaux de pluie. Ces semelles peuvent être d'autre nature que béton selon les dimensionnements techniques requis. La semelle 31 supportant la structure 3 peut être constituée d'une grave adaptée aux contraintes techniques liées à la structure portée dessus.Note that the retaining structures 13 and 5 are each placed in the present case on concrete soles 29 & 33, drains 35, 37 are also provided to recover including rainwater. These soles may be of other nature than concrete according to the technical dimensions required. The sole 31 supporting the structure 3 may consist of a serious adapted to the technical constraints related to the structure carried on it.

On a représenté sur la figure 3, une structure 39 selon l'invention, disposée le long d'une voie ferrée, cette dernière n'étant pas visible, et formant une protection phonique efficace.We have shown on the figure 3 , a structure 39 according to the invention, arranged along a railway track, the latter being not visible, and forming an effective sound protection.

Comme on peut le voir sur cette figure 3, trois rangées 19a, 19b, 19c de boudins de culture sont disposées en alternance avec des rangées de pierres 17a, 17b, 17c, 17d, l'ensemble étant disposé à l'intérieur des cages métalliques modulaires définissant les gabions.As we can see on this figure 3 three rows 19a, 19b, 19c of culture flanges are arranged alternately with rows of stones 17a, 17b, 17c, 17d, the assembly being arranged inside the modular metal cages defining the gabions.

Les plantes 25 prenant racine à l'intérieur des boudins de culture 19 s'épanouissent sur la façade visible du mur de soutènement ainsi réalisé, réalisant une décoration esthétique plus ou moins couvrante selon les espèces et la densité de plantation choisie.The plants 25 rooted inside the culture tubes 19 bloom on the visible facade of the retaining wall thus produced, achieving an aesthetic decoration more or less covering depending on the species and planting density chosen.

A noter à ce sujet, que l'on pourra choisir indifféremment des plantes vivaces caduques, tout autant que des arbrisseaux ou plantes conservant une partie aérienne persistante en saison de repos. Les différents types peuvent être en mélange ou non, selon les objectifs esthétiques recherchés. En revanche, seront toujours mis en place des espèces parfaitement adaptées aux conditions climatiques locales et aux conditions pédologiques et pédoclimatiques du substrat mis en place pour leur culture. En particulier, la capacité d'élongation du système racinaire des plantes choisies est un facteur essentiel, ainsi que leur capacité de résistance à la sécheresse liée au caractère drainant du substrat de culture réalisé.It should be noted here that deciduous perennials can be chosen as well as shrubs or plants that retain a persistent aerial part during the resting season. The different types can be mixed or not, depending on the desired aesthetic objectives. On the other hand, species will always be established that are perfectly adapted to the local climatic conditions and to the pedological and pedoclimatic conditions of the substrate set up for their culture. In particular, the elongation capacity of the root system of the selected plants is an essential factor, as well as their ability to withstand drought linked to the draining nature of the culture substrate produced.

On choisira donc des plantes nécessitant un faible apport d'eau. Des plantes géophytes (adaptées à des situations sèches), c'est-à-dire des plantes vivaces aptes à passer la mauvaise saison de manière enfouie, sous forme de rhizomes, bulbes ou autres pourront aussi être utilisées. Ces choix demandent un bon niveau d'expertise sur la connaissance des milieux et de la biologie des plantes.We will therefore choose plants requiring a low water intake. Geophyte plants (adapted to dry situations), that is to say, perennials able to spend the bad season buried, in the form of rhizomes, bulbs or others may also be used. These choices require a good level of expertise on knowledge of plant environments and biology.

La mise en oeuvre d'une structure selon l'invention et ses avantages découlent directement de la description qui précède.The implementation of a structure according to the invention and its advantages derive directly from the foregoing description.

Lorsqu'on souhaite réaliser un mur en gabions végétalisés conforme par exemple à la figure 2, on commence par rapporter sur le chantier la rangée inférieure des gabions 7a. Elle est ensuite partiellement remplie de pierres 17.When one wishes to realize a wall in vegetated gabion conforms for example to the figure 2 we start by bringing back to the site the lower row of gabions 7a. It is then partially filled with stones.

II est à noter que la structure selon l'invention peut être préfabriquée hors du chantier (en carrière par exemple ou autre lieu) et transportée sur place pour sa mise en place.It should be noted that the structure according to the invention can be prefabricated off the site (career for example or other place) and transported to the site for its implementation.

On positionne ensuite dans la partie supérieure de ces gabions le boudin de culture 19, à l'intérieur duquel on place le substrat 23.Then placed in the upper part of these gabions culture rod 19, inside which the substrate 23 is placed.

On replie ensuite la nappe de rétention 21 sur ce substrat, de manière à ce que cette nappe soit ouverte sur la face non visible du gabion.The retention ply 21 is then folded onto this substrate, so that this ply is open on the non-visible face of the gabion.

On referme ensuite la partie supérieure de la cage métallique formant les gabions 7a, et on vient poser sur ces gabions 7a la rangée supérieure des gabions 7b.The upper part of the metal cage forming the gabions 7a is then closed, and the upper row of the gabions 7b is placed on these gabions 7a.

Le processus continue ainsi selon le calepinage de conception déterminant la position des poches de plantations futures (nappes de rétention).The process thus continues according to the design layout determining the position of future plantation pockets (retention plies).

Une fois le mur en gabions ainsi réalisé, on réalise le remplissage du noyau 9, de manière que ce remblai vienne en contact contre ce mur de gabions, et communique en particulier avec le substrat 23 se trouvant dans le boudin 19.Once the gabion wall thus produced, the filling of the core 9 is performed, so that this embankment comes into contact against this wall of gabions, and communicates in particular with the substrate 23 located in the coil 19.

Côté élément 7, les parties du noyau 9 qui ne sont pas en contact avec l'arrière de la nappe de rétention 21 seront, au fur et à mesure du remplissage, isolées du muret végétalisée, par mise en place d'un matériau 42 choisi dans le groupe comprenant les géotextiles et les non-tissés plaqués contre l'élément métal de la cage gabion. Ceci évitera les migrations futures de matériaux terreux dans les méats existants entre les éléments de remplissage des cages.On the element side 7, the parts of the core 9 which are not in contact with the back of the retention ply 21 will, as and when filling, isolated from the green wall, by placing a selected material 42 in the group comprising geotextiles and nonwovens pressed against the metal element of the gabion cage. This will prevent future migrations of earth materials into the existing meatus between the cage fillers.

II en sera de même côté opposé à l'élément 7 où une nappe de rétention 43 sera plaquée côté interne de la cage avant remplissage avec le afin de le contenir.It will be the same side opposite to the element 7 where a retention ply 43 will be plated on the inner side of the cage before filling with the in order to contain it.

En revanche, les côtés en contact avec d'autres cages emplies de remblai, resteront libres de toute présence de nappe de rétention afin de permettre la mise en continuité longitudinale du remblai.On the other hand, the sides in contact with other cages filled with embankment, will remain free of any presence of retention ply to allow the longitudinal continuation of the embankment.

II ne sera pas mis non plus de nappe de rétention au sein ni en partie supérieure du noyau 9.There will also be no retention ply in the breast or in the upper part of the nucleus 9.

Pour ce qui est de la base, si la fondation est de type granulat, il ne sera pas non plus mis en oeuvre de nappe de rétention afin de permettre un contact avec le sol.As for the base, if the foundation is granular type, it will not be implemented retention ply to allow contact with the ground.

En revanche, dans le cas où la structure 3 surmonterait une structure de soutènement de type gabion ou autre, ou une semelle béton, une nappe de rétention sera également plaquée sur le panneau bas de la cage côté intérieur avant remplissage.On the other hand, in the case where the structure 3 would overcome a gabion or other type of support structure, or a concrete footing, a retention ply will also be pressed against the bottom panel of the inner side cage before filling.

On peut ensuite réaliser des entailles sur la partie de la nappe 21 qui affleure avec la partie visible 27 des gabions 7a, et y insérer les végétaux souhaités, sous forme de mini-mottes. Dans le cadre de la mise en oeuvre, les opérations de plantation peuvent être aussi réalisées au fur et à mesure de l'édification de la structure selon l'invention, au moment de la confection des boudins de culture 19. Dans ce dernier cas, des mottes plus importantes ou des godets pourront être utilisés.It is then possible to cut the part of the sheet 21 which is flush with the visible part 27 of the gabions 7a, and to insert the desired plants, in the form of mini-clumps. In the context of the implementation, the planting operations can also be carried out as and when the construction of the structure according to the invention, at the time of making the culture rods 19. In the latter case, larger clumps or buckets may be used.

Dans les premiers mois suivant la plantation, il est préférable d'arroser ces végétaux, ce qui peut être obtenu au moyen d'un réseau d'irrigation par goutte à goutte ou tout autre moyen assurant une régularité la première saison de végétation.In the first months after planting, it is best to water these plants, which can be achieved by means of a drip irrigation system or any other means ensuring a regular first growing season.

Dans le cas de l'utilisation de goutte à goutte, le réseau pourra être réactivé autant que de besoin notamment en cas de sécheresse atmosphérique très marquée et/ou jusqu'à ce que les racines aient atteint le noyau 9.In the case of the use of drip, the network can be reactivated as needed, especially in case of very marked atmospheric dryness and / or until the roots have reached the core 9.

Par la suite, grâce notamment aux précipitations qui tombent sur noyau 9, et qui irriguent le substrat 23 notamment par capillarité, les végétaux 25 peuvent vivre grâce à l'eau de pluie.Subsequently, thanks in particular to the precipitation which falls on core 9, and which irrigate the substrate 23 in particular by capillarity, the plants 25 can live thanks to the rainwater.

Dans le cas où l'élément 7 serait seul utilisé en plaquage d'une structure architectonique de soutènement ou non et quel qu'en soit le type, un réseau de goutte à goutte sera impérativement posé et devra fonctionner régulièrement selon les exigences des plantes utilisées afin de leur apporter une alimentation en eau suffisante. II est fait ici observer que la frugalité des plantes choisies entraîne une faible consommation en eau même dans ce cas.In the case where the element 7 alone would be used in plating of an architectural structure of retaining or not and of whatever type, a drip network will imperatively be laid and will have to operate regularly according to the requirements of the plants used. to provide them with sufficient water supply. It is observed here that the frugality of the selected plants leads to a low consumption of water even in this case.

La pose de goutte à goutte ou de tout autre moyen d'alimentation en eau doit se faire sans aucune atteinte à l'intégrité des éléments métal des cages de gabions.The installation of drip or any other means of water supply must be done without any damage to the integrity of the metal elements of the gabion cages.

Le réseau d'arrosage s'il est retenu peut être posé au fur et à mesure de la construction de l'élément 7 en traversant les boudins de culture 19. II peut être complété par un réseau en sommet du noyau 9 et ou posé aussi en sommet d'élément 7.The watering network, if it is retained, can be placed as the element 7 is being constructed by passing through the culture flanges 19. It can be completed by a network at the top of the core 9 and also laid down. at the top of element 7.

L'alimentation en eau peut se faire manuellement à intervalles réguliers.The water supply can be done manually at regular intervals.

Afin de favoriser la migration des racines des plantes vers le noyau 9, l'alimentation en eau de ce dernier se fera préférentiellement et sera maintenue quelques mois alors même que celle de l'ensemble 7 sera progressivement réduite puis annulée.To promote the migration of plant roots to the core 9, the water supply of the latter will be preferentially and will be maintained for a few months even though that of the assembly 7 will be gradually reduced and canceled.

Une phase de sevrage en eau est à prévoir et planifier.A phase of weaning in water is to be envisaged and to plan.

A noter que l'absence de compartimentage entre le boudin de culture 19 et le noyau 9 permet aux racines de ces végétaux de s'étendre non seulement à l'intérieur du substrat 23, mais également à l'intérieur de l'ensemble du noyau 9, dans lequel ils trouvent la matière nutritive nécessaire à leur pérennité.It should be noted that the absence of subdivision between the culture pudding 19 and the core 9 allows the roots of these plants to extend not only inside the substrate 23, but also within the entire core. 9, in which they find the nutritive material necessary for their durability.

Cette communication des boudins de culture 19 avec le noyau 9 qui s'adosse au mur de gabions constitue une différence essentielle de la présente invention par rapport au système qui existait dans la technique antérieure.This communication of the culture rods 19 with the core 9 which leans against the wall of gabions is an essential difference from the present invention compared to the system that existed in the prior art.

De manière avantageuse, dans l'agencement illustré à la figure 1, on peut bien évidemment aussi faire pousser des végétaux 15 directement sur le noyau 9, en complément de ceux 25 qui poussent sur la partie visible du mur en gabions 7.Advantageously, in the arrangement illustrated in FIG. figure 1 Of course, it is also possible to grow plants directly on the core 9, in addition to those which grow on the visible part of the gabion wall 7.

Comme on peut le comprendre à la lumière de la description qui précède, la présente invention fournit une structure permettant de réaliser des murs de gabions que l'on peut végétaliser de manière pérenne, avec le minimum d'entretien pour l'objectif visé.As can be understood from the foregoing description, the present invention provides a structure for making gabion walls that can be planted sustainably, with minimal maintenance for the intended purpose.

Cette structure peut être associée à des structures de soutènement ou déclinée en écran acoustique absorbant ou réfléchissant, seul ou associé avec un autre matériau type panneaux béton bois.This structure can be associated with supporting structures or declined in absorbing or reflecting acoustic screen, alone or in combination with another material such as wood concrete panels.

Ceci ouvre un nouveau champ d'exploration pour les paysagistes, qui ont très fréquemment le souci de tempérer l'aspect minéral des ouvrages, notamment du type en gabions, par la mise en place de végétaux dont l'entretien est compatible avec les contraintes d'exploitation.This opens up a new field of exploration for landscape architects, who are very often concerned with tempering the mineral aspect of structures, especially of the Gabion type, by the establishment of plants whose maintenance is compatible with the constraints of exploitation.

Sa modularité en soi, ou en association avec d'autres structures assurant d'autres fonctions, ouvre un champ quasi infini de créativité et d'adaptabilité à des environnements et situations variées.Its modularity in itself, or in combination with other structures providing other functions, opens an almost infinite field of creativity and adaptability to various environments and situations.

La modularité est également dimensionnelle compte tenu de la gamme étendue de dimension des cages de gabions. Elle est aussi liée à la variété de leur aspect et des structures existant sur le marché.The modularity is also dimensional considering the wide range of dimensions of gabion cages. It is also linked to the variety of their appearance and existing structures on the market.

Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés, fournis à titre de simples exemples.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown, provided as simple examples.

C'est ainsi par exemple que les murs en gabions végétalisés décrits ci-dessus pourraient être utilisés en combinaison avec d'autres éléments de soutènement, tels que des murs en béton, en gabions, en terre armée, etc.For example, the vegetated gabion walls described above could be used in combination with other supporting elements, such as concrete walls, gabions, reinforced earth, etc.

C'est ainsi également que l'on pourrait utiliser des murs en gabions végétalisés 3 pour réaliser d'autres types d'ouvrages en association avec des dispositifs de soutènement (un rang de gabions de soutènement côté opposé à l'ensemble 7 et solidaire de 9 par exemple) ou seul, notamment pour des bords de rives de cours d'eau, ou bien d'ouvrages hydrauliques (bassins d'orages, etc...) ou encore comme éléments de mobilier urbain (bancs en gabions végétalisés de la sorte et surmontés d'une assise en bois ou autre, etc.Thus, it is also possible to use vegetated gabion walls 3 to make other types of structures in association with support devices (a row of support gabions opposite to the assembly 7 and secured to 9 for example) or alone, especially for river bank edges, or hydraulic structures (storm basins, etc.) or as urban furniture elements (vegetated Gabion benches). sort and surmounted by a wooden seat or the like, etc.
