Geocache Description:


LV: Rietumu mola izbūve ir nesaraujami saistīta ar Rīgas ostas attīstības vēsturi, kad 18. gs. vidū radās nepieciešamība steidzami apturēt Daugavas ietekas aizsērēšanu, kas traucēja kuģu nokļūšanu Daugavā un preču piegādi strauji augošajai Rīgas pilsētai. Pirmās atzīmes par mola būvniecību atrodamas kartēs, kas datētas ar 1788. gadu, un sākotnēji ir saistītas ar Komētforta celtniecību. Rietumu mola būvniecība sākas 1881. gadā un ar pārtraukumiem turpinās līdz pat 1885. gadam, kad mols kā hidrotehniska būve iegūst šodien redzamās aprises.

Rietumu mols ir viena no svarīgākajām būvēm Daugavas straumes un sanešu regulējošā hidrobūvju sistēmā, kas ir izveidotas aptuveni 50 kilometru kopgarumā ar vienu mērķi – nodrošināt stabilu Rīgas ostas darbību. Mols ir būvēts kā pāļu un fašīnu konstrukcija, kas pildīta ar laukakmeņiem un saistīta ar betona pārsegumu. Gadu gaitā molam ir veidotas arī aizsargsienas un tetrapodu krāvumi, kas palīdz konstrukcijai izturēt ūdens straumju spiedienu un noturēt atbilstošu dziļumu kuģošanas kanālā.  

Rietumu mola garums ir 860 metri, virsūdens redzamā daļa atsevišķos posmos sasniedz 3m, platums līdz 5,5 metriem. Mola jūras galā atbilstoši kuģošanas drošības noteikumiem ir uzstādīta navigācijas gaismas un sakaru ierīce.

UZDEVUMS: Apmeklē Rietumu molu un savam "Atradu" ierakstam pievieno attēlu, kurā esi redzams blakus navigācijas gaismas un sakaru ierīcei! Ieraksti BEZ atbilstoša attēla tiks DZĒSTI! Brauciens garām molam NAV apmeklējums!!

Bonuss: 400m attālumā ZA virzienā atrodās Austrumu molam veltīts virtuālais slēpnis Mangaļsalas bāka/Mangalsala lighthouse(autors: Karlittos), lai pie tā nokļūtu būs jāmēro aptuveni 40km apkārtceļš pa sauszemi. Lai veicas!

EN: The construction of the Western Breakwater is part and parcel of the Riga port development history. In the middle of the 18th century there was an urgent need to eliminate the clogging of the Daugava estuary, which hindered the entry of vessels into the Daugava and the delivery of goods to the rapidly growing city of Riga. The first records of the breakwater construction, which can be found on maps dating back to 1788, were originally related to the construction of the Cometfort. The Western Breakwater construction began in 1881 and was continued intermittently until 1885, when the breakwater as a hydro structure had the form we can see today.

The Western Breakwater, with the total length of approximately 50 kilometers, is one of the most important hydro structures, regulating the Daugava stream and alluvial system, built with the aim to ensure sustainable operation of the Port of Riga. The breakwater is a structure of piles and fascines, filled with boulders and linked by the concrete covering. Over the years, protective walls and tetrapod stacks, which help the structure to withstand the pressure of water currents and maintain an adequate depth in the shipping channel, were established.

The length of the Western Breakwater is 860 meters, the visible part reaches 3 m at some sections, and the width is up to 5.5 meters. A navigation light and communication structure is installed at the sea end of the breakwater in accordance with navigation safety regulations.

TASK: Visit the Western Breakwater and add a picture to your "Found It" log, where you can be seen with the navigation light and communication structure! Logs WITHOUT a proper picture will be DELETED! A drive-by is NOT a visit!!

Bonus: About 400m to NE is a Virtual cache dedicated to the Eastern Breakwater Mangaļsalas bāka/Mangalsala lighthouse(Owner: Karlittos), to get to it you will have to make a 40km trip by foot/bike/car. Have fun!!
