Embodiment Construction

[0054] Figure 1 to Figure 25 A preferred embodiment of the wave suppression and sediment collection (WSSC) system 10 of the present invention is shown as Figure 12A , where the system 10 is in place near the shoreline 15. However, for details of the WSSC system 10 refer to Figure 1 to Figure 17 multiple drawings of , and Figure 18 to Figure 25 A second embodiment of a WSSC system positioned within a rock breakwater is shown. first as Figure 1 to Figure 17 As shown, a WSSC system at a suitable location near the shoreline will be described.

[0055] The WSSC system 10 of the present invention includes a plurality of subdivisions 12, which will be Figure 1 to Figure 3 A more comprehensive description is given in . As shown, each subsection 12 includes a base 14 which rests on the seabed 16 . A pair of generally triangular side walls 18, 20 are provided along with a rear wall 22 and a sloped top wall 24, all of which together define an interior space 26 therein. It c...

Abstract

A transportable wave suppressor and sediment collection (WSSC) system, including a method of installing same, the system installed to suppress wave action and provide land restoration along the shore of a body of water, such as a coastline, which includes a plurality of interconnected sections of the system, each section including a base, a forward wall, and a rear wall, having a plurality of fluid flow pipes extending from the forward wall to the rear wall, for allowing water including sediment to flow into the pipes at the forward wall and exit the pipes at the rear wall. There is further provided a one-way valve member at the rear wall exit of each pipe, so that water carrying sediment cannot return through the pipe as the wave action recedes from the coastline. To allow water to return to the body of water, there is provided a flow opening including a weir between multiple sections so that water is able to flow there through. Each of the sections would be self-contained, and constructed of a material to allow each section to be floated to a location, wherein material, such as water, or the like, can be pumped into each section resulting in the section to sink and rest on the floor of the body of water, with an upper portion of the section extending a distance above the water surface. The sections would be interconnected and anchored to the floor, so as to provide a continuous system, interrupted only by the water return outlets as stated earlier.

Description

[0001] Inventor: PIERCE, JR., Webster, American Citizen, 215 West 58th Street, Cut Off, Louisiana, 70345, US. [0002] Cross References to Related Applications [0003] This document claims priority to US Patent Application Serial No. 12 / 576,359, filed October 9, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference. [0004] Statement Regarding Federally Sponsored Research or Development [0005] none [0006] References to "Microfiche Annex" [0007] none Background technique [0008] 1. technical field [0009] The present invention relates to the protection of shoreline erosion caused by wave action or tidal surge and the restoration of shoreline loss caused by such wave action or tidal surge activity. More specifically, the present invention relates to wave suppression and sediment collection systems (sometimes referred to as WSSC systems), which are transportable and installable along shorelines, which provide sufficient barrier to interfere with the flow of tidal waves ...
