What to do with a waterway with every now and then a vertical reinforced stretch of slope along side of it ? Tag it with reinforced slope ? I wonder since its no slope, theres IMHO no alternative ! Another item is the amount of data added to the map. I personally would tag it since its data with a link to the map, some will complain that the data might not fit their mobile tools. What to do, tag it or not ? Greetz

It might help if you could link to an example of this, with a photo.

These are the vertical corrugated 20mm thick steel interlocking sections "W" shaped, that a crane like pile driver hammers in to reinforce banks and flood defenses.

Would a way following the riverbank polygon for the section and tagged as barrier=retaining_wall and sheet_piling=yes or wooden_reinforcement_yes or concrete=yes ???

Hi Andy, yes it would, but its heavy and expensive. You and I would go for something cheaper like wood. So I would like to ad the key material and the value's concrete, wood or fiber as it where a building. But is it right to call it sheet_pilling then or leave the sheet_pilling out ? Greetz Ps and this menu wont except PrSc neither.

For ideas, I'd have a look at English canals, because there are quite a few of them, and England isn't as flat as the Netherlands, so there are quite a few of this sort of feature. I'm guessing something involving embankment might fit, but for exactly how to fit the embankment and the canal together with other features I'd try and take inspiration with what other people have done.

Hi, Thanks for your thoughts. I found several like this strange one, http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.357783&lon=-2.07084&zoom=18&layers=M My eye was caught by the details at this river below a canal, the west side is -1 and the east is normal, both are on the surface. Although OSM is original British, there still a lot to do. I didn’t find vertical slopes in neither stone nor wood on my survey. No details so far. Ps I won’t be able to ad pics. OSM doesn’t allow it AFAIK. But every harbour has a vertical slope, mostly in steel or concrete, but no sign of a tag here or overthere.

Sorry wrong post. Hi Andy, I meant a photo not a map I could sent you one at home but not by this platform or is there a way to avoid this barrier ? But almost every river or canal has vertical slopes and banks made out of steel or concrete sheets. (sheet pile wall) Greetz

If you have a digital camera, download pic to PC, put pic on screen the do a screen print(grab), should be key called that, then use above. But now you have used the word sheet pile I understand the feature you have described. maybe you could edit "sheet piling" into the original question.

so we're talking about something like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Spundwand.jpg, only just at the edge of the water at a canal?

Hi Gormo, Wikipedia left you, no picture. Please read Andy's mail We worked something out. But thanks anyway.
