Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a dam device (1) and a dam device comprising a shaft (10) and a dam body (2) arranged in the shaft. The method comprises forming the dam body by form-fitting and/or friction-fitting connection of a first profile element (6) that forms the bottom of the dam body with at least two additional profile elements (3, 11) that form the walls, wherein the first and the at least two additional profile elements form an interior space (16) open at one side in this manner. In a further step, at least one shaped buoyancy means (4, 5) is introduced into the interior space, and a buoyancy means distributor (7) is then placed onto the shaft and/or the horizontally running edges of the walls of the interior space (16). The interior space (16) is then filled up with unshaped buoyancy means (17) with the assistance of the buoyancy means distributor. In a final step, the interior is closed off with at least one additional profile element (15).

Abstract

The invention relates to a dam body for use in a damming device for holding back water, or a watercourse having a changing water level, comprising a barrier wall (2) that extends at least partially vertically and a buoyancy means (6). The dam body is constructed of several planar profiled elements (2, 3, 4), which can be connected and which each have at least one profiled piece (2a, 2b; 3a, 3b; 4a, 4b). The profiled pieces of adjacent profiled elements are connected by means of a connection (2a/3a; 3b/4a; 2b/4b) of the profiled elements in such a way that the profiled elements (2, 3, 4) form an interior (5) therebetween. The damming device comprises a shaft (7), which has an upper opening (12) and can be flooded through at least one supply line (9) and can accommodate at least one dam body (1; 1'). The at least one dam body (1, 1') is provided in an initial position in the shaft (7), can be moved vertically and is raised at least partially out of the upper opening (12) to a backwater position when the shaft (7) is flooded.
