(54) A structure of modular elements for protecting the edges of canals, ditches and watercourses in general


(57) The subject of the present invention is a structure of modular elements for the protection of the edges of canals, ditches and water courses in general, characterised by the fact that it comprises a plurality of slab-like modular elements, preferably made of cast concrete with steel reinforcements. These slab-like elements have a square conformation with a square aperture in their central portion.
The upper faces of the slab-like elements have a slightly frusto-pyramid shape, converging towards an aperture, in such a way as to define a plurality of adjacently disposed trapezoidal projections on the major face.
On two opposite edges of the slab-like modular elements there are eyelets, which advantageously are directly formed by the reinforcing steel.
The modular elements (1) are disposed adjacent one another in such a way as to create a cover over the bank (10) of the water course, beneath which can be preliminarily provided a suitable ballast.
The modular elements are joined together by longitudinal connection wires.
