CONSTRUCTION OF LOW-RISE BUILDINGS IN THE COASTLAND AND WATER AREAS

The subject of the article is building in water areas. Now the issue of creating new territories for construction is relevant. Additional territories for new construction are created by means of artificial islands in water areas. This issue is usually addressed when dealing with design concepts of buildings and structures in cities and countries with high exposure to flood risk. When preparing for the such construction the following works shall be performed: construction of enclosing dams along the perimeter; dredging of the water area and drying. When artificial islands are built in water areas, steel sheet piles forming a cellular structure and wrapped coiled steel. For a long time, structures were built on a pile foundation made of tree trunks. Nowadays, traditional pile foundations are almost replaced by new structural elements. The process of pier foundation installation is nearly the same as the process of pile installation. The next current topic in the article is the using of telescopic poles. They serve as an alternative when preventing water- related hazards. Simply put, in case the water level becomes higher, the building comes up as a fishing float. To sum up, when preparing for the construction in water areas, we shall bear in mind the following: the climatic factors; the characteristics of the water body; and the best method used to build waterproof elements.
