Water basin construction method

Abstract

The present invention relates to a new construction method to build water basin bodies of water that can be used for recreational activities such as surfing, wake boarding, body boarding, water skiing, kayaking, canoeing, river surfing, lazy rivers, tubing rivers, swimming, scuba and other recreational water activities. The present invention construction method can be used in water basins, pools, lagoons, ponds, lakes, surf lakes, surf pools, reservoirs, bodies of water and rivers.

Claims

1. A method for constructing a water basin for recreational water activities comprising: excavating dirt from a ground surface to form the water basin; shaping the dirt at the bottom of the water basin with different contours and slopes; laying a multi-layer geo textile fabric over top of the dirt shaped contours and slopes at the bottom of the water basin to form an artificial surfing reef; the multi-layer geo textile fabric comprises a bottom layer of non-woven geo textile fabric, a top layer of non-woven geo textile fabric and a liner between the top and bottom layers of non-woven geo textile fabrics; applying a coating of plasticized gypsum composition mixture over top of the top layer of non-woven geo textile fabric.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

(6) FIG. 1

(7) FIG. 1 is a side cross sectional view of the water basin construction method and application. The bottom of the water basin is earth dirt 1. The bottom of the water basin 1 can be flat, sloped or contoured. Over top of the dirt bottom of the water basin 1 is a bottom layer of non-woven geo textile fabric 2 and, a top layer of non-woven geo textile fabric 3 and, a lake liner 4 between the two layers of non-woven geo textile fabric and, a coating of plasticized vegetable oil and common gypsum mixture 5 over top of the top layer of non geo textile fabric 3. The layers all put together create a water basin construction method for a recreational water basin. The entire water proof lining system is anchored over the side walls 7 by earth anchors 8.

(8) FIG. 2:

(9) FIG. 2 is a top down view of the water basin construction method.

(10) A geosynthetic cementitious composite mat 9 and, a coating of plasticized vegetable oil and common gypsum mixture 5 over top of a geosynthetic cementitious composite mat 9 to form a water proof membrane 10.

(11) FIG. 3:

(12) FIG. 3 is a section view of each layer of the artificial surfing reef in the water basin.

(13) A geosynthetic cementitious composite mat 9 laid over top of a contoured sloped water basin bottom 1 to form an artificial surfing reef 11.

(14) FIG. 4. A top view of the water basin construction method.

(15) The geosynthetic cementitious composite mat 9 that is anchored to the water basin bottom 1 by an anchor 8, cable 12 and a round disc 13.

(16) FIG. 5. A top view of the artificial surfing reef in the water basin.

(17) A water basin construction method a top 3 and bottom non-woven geotextile fabric 2 and, a liner 4 between the top 3 and bottom non-woven geo textile fabric 2 and, a sprayed coating of plasticized gypsum composition 5 over the top non-woven geo textile fabric 3 and, laid over top of a contoured and sloped water basin bottom 1 to form an artificial surfing reef 11.
