Abstract:
A method and a device for laying down and sealingly anchoring a waterproofing liner of a synthetic material, on a surface of a hydraulic work. The liner is fastened by a plurality of tensioning and anchoring assemblies, each including a lower and upper metal section bars configured with a raised part having side flat surfaces for sealingly clamping the liner, wherein the lower section bar has more anchoring holes at a plurality of axially spaced apart anchoring zones; the surface of the hydraulic work is previously marked by reference marks underlining the presence of possible obstacles such as reinforcement rods near the anchoring holes of the anchoring zones of the lower section bar; therefore the lower section bar is positioned by aligning the anchoring holes to the reference marks, anchoring the section bar to the hydraulic work by anchoring devices) at least one hole of the anchoring zones wherein there is no obstacle to the insertion of the anchoring devices in the hydraulic work. The waterproofing liner is laid down on the surface of the hydraulic work, and is sealingly anchored it between the lower section bars and the upper section bars of the tensioning assemblies.

Claim (Index 19):
A device for laying down and tensioning a waterproofing liner on a surface of a hydraulic work, wherein said device includes a plurality of locking assemblies that extend in a longitudinal direction for sealingly clamping and tensioning the waterproofing liner, each locking assembly being configured to include:\n a lower metal section bar to be anchored to the surface of the hydraulic work; and an upper metal section bar that conforms to the lower section bar; wherein an elastically yieldable waterproofing liner is meant to be locked and tensioned by sealingly clamping the waterproofing liner between the lower section bar and the upper section bar; wherein: said locking assembly has, optionally, an additional elongated anchoring element underneath the lower section bar; said lower section bar, or said additional elongated anchoring element having anchoring zones, wherein each anchoring zone is configured with a set of anchoring holes to introduce anchoring devices into the body of the hydraulic work; and wherein said anchoring zones are spaced apart by a pitch in a longitudinal direction of each locking assembly.
