Seawall using screw piles

a technology of screw piles and seawalls, applied in the field of seawalls, can solve the problems of limited sediment exchange between land and sea, high cost of manufacture and installation of seawalls constructed in this manner, and the inability of suitable equipment for casting concrete grade beams in place to access many remote areas

Embodiment Construction

[0034]Referring to the accompanying figures there is illustrated a seawall generally indicated by reference numeral 10. The seawall 10 is particularly suited for being supported on a seabed 12 along a coastline using an assembly of modular components including anchoring components penetrated into the seabed and wall components protruding upwardly from the seabed while remaining partly or fully submerged in the sea.

[0035]The seawall assembled from a plurality of wall panels which are arranged for being connected in series with one another along the boundary formed by the seawall. The modular wall panels include (i) an end panel 14 located at one or both ends of the seawall, (ii) a plurality of intermediate panels 16 which are connected end to end with one another within a generally common plane for use along a majority of the wall boundary between opposing ends of the assembled seawall, and (iii) optionally one or more corner panels 18 used for joining two adjacent panels at right an...

Abstract

A seawall is supported on a seabed along a coastline using a plurality of screw piles, each having a shaft and a helical flight about the shaft adjacent a bottom end of the shaft. The screw piles are penetrated into the seabed at spaced apart positions along the coastline such that each screw pile defines a lower portion embedded into the seabed and an upper portion protruding upwardly from the seabed. A plurality of modular wall panels, each formed of concrete material and having post apertures at opposing ends thereof, are each mounted onto two adjacent ones of the screw piles by inserting the upper portions of the screw piles into the post apertures at the opposing ends of the wall panel such that the wall panels are connected in series with one another along the coastline.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 62 / 863,484, filed Jun. 19, 2019.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a seawall for use along a coastline, and more particularly the present invention relates to a seawall using screw piles anchored into the seabed and modular wall panels supported on the screw piles.BACKGROUND[0003]Seawalls are commonly constructed along coastlines to impede erosion of the land by the exchange of sediment between land and sea and to protect areas of human activity from the action of tides, waves, or tsunamis. A typical seawall construction involves placement of piles into the seabed and a grade beam connected across the top ends of the piles at the sea floor. Corrugated metal sheets may be further anchored on the grade beam to extend upwardly from the sea floor and form a barrier wall which impedes the movement of water along the sea floor and thus limits the exchange of ...
