PILES FOR SELF-CLOSING FLOOD BARRIER
A pile mechanism to support water barrier elements in a self-closing flood barrier is described. The pile mechanism includes a pile that is arranged substantially beneath ground level when the water level is below the ground level, and that is automatically positioned above the ground level when the water level rises above the ground level. In some embodiments, the pile mechanism has a central float that is suited to cause the pile to rise at a water level that is higher than the ground level, a cover element suited to provide a water-tight seal between the pile and at least one water barrier element of the self-closing flood barrier, and a well having at least one flotation compartment from which the pile rises by means of the central float positioned in the flotation compartment.
