The collapse of the artificial protection of Olympic venues (43 photos)

Storm in Sochi ruined parapet lined with marble, granite paving stone embankment, construction elements, and even working a house overlooking the sea.



 
From the waves broke "Engineering protection of Imereti lowland, including bank stabilization." Adler photographer Oleg Smerechinsky published in his blog the first photos from the event.



According to Oleg (he always accurate) "destroyed a hundred meters, there is a rift subsidence and structural elements».



I recall the public discussion of the project in 2008, when all the local professionals and ordinary citizens Imeretinki expressed doubts about its effectiveness. In our view spat. Now, this "defense" will become a permanent burden on the budget, since it will have to endlessly patching (although it was clear initially). Here's what he said then, Yuri Polyakov, a representative of the public town-planning council, the head of Sochi during perestroika: Surrender, built right before the Olympics, the event will take place, and then it will slowly subside. The budget money - it's our money. No one has yet been canceled economic comparisons, comparisons of unit costs and so on. Without economic comparison, the reports without figures now look completely unprepared & quot ;. But in fact economically Olympiad took place. The plates even though there is no reinforcement. In December 2009 the same storm washed away Imereti cargo port, which was built for the Olympics Deripaska, of course, at the expense of state credits. Port restored so long that he was no longer needed.



Previous Entry Add to Memories Share Offer "engineering protection of Imereti Lowland", bank stabilization and storm. Even purely a working house with sea views on the Black Sea coast in Sochi is good only until such time as the sea does not solve it come.



Come, because it this is not obstructed. That is what happened in the early morning the twenty-fourth of March. Inhabitants ducked out quickly, leaving even some of the documents. The rest of the sea took with him:



Storm, by local standards, strong, but not catastrophic. These usually occur in December or February, but this year the winter was delayed not only in the south but also in the whole country:



The ravine in the dam water still rushes to the street Nizhneimeretinskaya:



By and large, for cars it becomes not travel. Early in the morning the surf overwhelmed across fences, filling yards salty sea water and debris, asphalt zailivaya:



On the roadway of 10-15 centimeters of wet sand, our car got stuck a few hundred meters before the part of the State border with the Republic of Abkhazia and ambulance on call ehavshaya stuck here. Despite the seeming simplicity is jammed tightly while trying pushed, burned the clutch. Help had only to me, letting drop into the interior when the next wave of the raid. On-call doctors never came:



The storm entered the peak quickly, and did not have time to have a clean:



Him too. Good old Ikarus - the main vehicle builders in the storm battered at all:



The height of the waves have subsided storm coming down can be assessed visually on their own. Gable roof house on the background wall height of about two meters, plus the dam:



A little further along the coast on the background of already well-learned in a short time the main stadium of the country - "Fischt" directly on the beach, occasionally reeling from a particularly large waves, running with short stops excavator:



In fact, it is perhaps the most important for the residents of the Olympic city in bad weather process. Turbid water by bucket - withdrawal from the pumping station, pumping storm water channel, extending throughout the area of ​​lowlands that avoids flooding throughout. Antiquated method:



Locals thoroughly know the specifics of the storms in the region, for the most part try to observe from a safe area - a dam.





Sochi plagued by two consecutive days squally wind "blew" a severe storm in the Black Sea.
