Abstract
System for the construction and utilization of multitubular structures called modules A, whose joined elements (2) have a cylindrical or prismatic shape. The dimensions (L, l) transversely to the axis (X--X) of the elements (2) are greater than the dimension (h) along this axis (X--X). Several joined modules constitute a line of modules, used to close off a river. Several lines of modules can be superimposed to build an overspill structure of a certain height. Structure is provided to float a line of modules into place above its sinking site. Modules can also be used advantageously for certain works built on dry ground.
