DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE OBJECT

[0038] Referring to the drawings shown, this privilege refers to a CONSTRUCTION METHOD AND OPERATIONAL PROCEDURE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A CONDOMINIUM AND/OR SUBDIVISION WITH THE CREATION OF ARTIFICIAL BEACHES FOR BATHING IN THE FORMAT OF ISLES AND/OR PENINSULA AND/OR BAYS AND/OR LAKES AND/OR THE LIKE, more precisely, the construction method for the implementation of a condominium and/or subdivision, with blocks (Q) of lots (L) in the format of an island (I) and/or peninsula (P), which allows the implementation of watercourse canals (1) for the formation of these isles (I) and/or peninsulas (P), comprising the lots (L) of the condominium, with the formation of artificial beaches (2) in the perimeter of the said lots (L) that comprise said lots, the watercourse canals (1) being proper for contemplation and bathing by condominium members.

[0039] According to this method, a main canal (1A) is excavated in a closed loop, surrounding the entire block (Q) of lots (L), forming isles (I) and/or peninsulas (P) on the mentioned banks of the main canal (1A) and secondary canals (1B) are excavated connecting the main canal (1A) of the right to the main canal (1A) of the left, to form the isles (I) inside the block (Q) of lots (L).

[0040] Preferably, if the excavated soil of the canals (1A and 1B) is adequate, it can be used for the embankment and conformation of the isles (I) and/or peninsulas (P), so that said lots (L) comprising the said subdivision are at a higher elevation than said canals (1A and 1B).

[0041] For the waterproofing of the excavated canals (1A and 1B), the use of reinforced concrete, compacted clay soil, vinyl or plastic blanket (3) is foreseen, which will ensure that the water stored in the canals (1A and 1B) does not contact the groundwater table of the site.

[0042] On the waterproofing (3) a layer of white or clear sand (21) is provided to form the beach (2) all over the canals (1A and 1B) excavated, in addition to a natural beach-like landscaping.

[0043] For the filling of these canals (1A and 1B) raw water (4) is collected from external sources, of any nature (river, sea, lake, reservoir, etc.), including polluted water, through pumping system or by gravity through piping or a connection canal (4A) which is then treated in a water treatment plant, by a high-performance flow flotation system (5), and sodium hypochlorite or other oxidizing agent is dispensed (22), making this treated water suitable for use by bathers.

[0044] The high-performance flow flotation system (5) includes the application of a coagulant (6) and flocculant (9) material in the watercourse; allowing a downstream aggregation of suspended particles (7), defining larger flakes; subjecting these aggregated and larger particles downstream the watercourse to at least one stage of dissolution and injection of microbubbles (8) of air or concentrated oxygen, causing a flotation of the said aggregated particles; allowing a downstream agglomeration (10) of the floated material to occur on the water surface, which is removed from the watercourse by a floating dredging wheel (11); and as the last step of the treatment, sodium hypochlorite or other oxidizing agent (22) is dispensed into the treated water to ensure its disinfection and use for bathing. This treatment process is efficient in removing more than 95% of pollutants, also eliminating odor and releasing oxygen-saturated water, without being necessary to perform any type of water filtration process, which would greatly increase the costs of operation and be unfeasible because of the sandy canal bottom.

[0045] The treatment canal does not have any physical division or space between the treatment stages, creating a continuous water treatment canal (24), ensuring maximum treatment capacity, increasing the hydraulic detention time and consequently a greater treatment capacity, thus reducing implementation and operation costs.

[0046] The coagulation (6) and flocculation (9) stages are performed in the continuous flow (12) of the treatment canal with an accurate control of the power applied to the mixture through the injection (8) of fine, medium and thick bubbles with variable and controlled intensity, which increases the efficiency of the coagulant mixture and the subsequent mixture of the flocculant in the water, and the formation of clots (6) and eventually of the flakes (9), thus reducing the consumption of these chemicals, and consequently their stock volume and the cost of operation.

[0047] For the continuous treatment of the water in the canals (1A and 1B), the water will be collected (4B) from the said canals, and routed upstream to the water treatment station (5), to be treated with the water collected from the external source (4), to keep the water quality levels of the mentioned canals of the block (Q) of lots (L).

[0048] The main canal (1A) is provided with an overflow pipe or canal (13), used to equalize the water level in the main (1A) and secondary (1B) canals, and by this pipe or overflow canal (13), the excess water already treated is returned to the external water body, avoiding overflow of said main (1A) and secondary (1B) canals. This overflow pipe or canal (13) is also designed to completely empty the main (1A) and secondary (1B) canals to allow them to be completely emptied and maintained.

[0049] To assist in the constant circulation and building of water flow through the canals (1A and 1B) of the block (Q) of the subdivision, one or more axial pumping systems (14) of high flow and low pressure are provided, and this pumping system (14) is housed inside protection grids (15) and hidden at the bottom or banks of the canal (1), to avoid contact of the bathers and consequent accidents.

[0050] The axial pumping system (14) can also perform the dosage (22) of sodium hypochlorite or another oxidizing agent, ensuring the adequate distribution all over the canals (1A and 1B) of the block (Q).

[0051] The canals (1A and 1B) also provide the installation, in the same site the axial pumping system is located (14), of another mechanical or hydraulic pulse equipment (16), which, by releasing a shock wave (17), creates waves or ripples (18) in the canals (1A and 1B) of the block (Q) of the subdivision, which is also housed inside protection grids (15) and hidden in the banks of the canal (1).

[0052] The mechanical or hydraulic pulse equipment (16) also helps in the cleaning of the watercourse canal (1A and 1B), once the shock wave (17) released by the mechanical or hydraulic pulse (16) in the watercourse, causes any residues eventually decanted in said canals (1A and 1B), to move and circulate and they can be captured (4B) for continuous treatment in the water treatment station by flotation (5).

[0053] It is also provided an overflow system (13) for treated water, from the canals (1A and 1B) of the block (Q) of the subdivision, returning to the external water source, allowing complete drainage of the water from the said canals (1A and 1B) and the occasional cleaning of the bottom of the canals (1A and 1B), using of a minimum amount of new external water, only to replace the evaporation loss.

[0054] The water level in the canals (1A and 1B) of the block (Q) of the subdivision is managed by the equalization of the catchment (4) of the raw water from the external source, with the drainage of the water by the overflow system (13) of the internal water already treated, keeping a constant water level in said canals (1A and 1B).

[0055] For the access of the condominium members to the block (Q) of subdivision with the format of isles (I), the construction of bridges, passageways or crossings (19) over the canals (1A) is foreseen, so as not to prevent the free circulation of water flow (12A).

[0056] External and internal roads (19A) are provided for the circulation of cars on the isles (I) or peninsulas (P) and one or more pedestrian streets (23) connecting the isles (I) of the subdivision, from one end to the other.

[0057] The installation of one or more common recreational areas (24) of the condominium is also planned.
