Erosion Control Device And Method Of Use
US Patent:
7775743, Aug 17, 2010
Filed:
Jun 14, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/763260
Inventors:
Dennis G. Kelley - Houma LA, US
International Classification:
E02D 17/20
US Classification:
405 19, 4053027
Abstract:
An erosion control device is provided, comprising a panel having a concrete matrix having a top surface and a bottom surface; a turf reinforcement material contained within the concrete matrix; and a geotextile material bonded to the bottom surface of the concrete matrix. The device includes a plurality of shear connectors inserted through the geotextile material, the concrete matrix, and the turf reinforcement material, and at least one flap of geotextile material extending along an edge of the device for overlapping by adjacent panels. The top surface includes score lines adapted to permit the panel to crack and bend along the score lines to adapt to uneven terrain, and also includes installation holes adapted to anchor the device to a levee or shoreline.
Wave Attenuator Structure And System Therefor
US Patent:
7588390, Sep 15, 2009
Filed:
Dec 7, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/952546
Inventors:
Dennis G. Kelley - Houma LA, US
International Classification:
E02D 29/02
US Classification:
405 31, 405262, 405284, 405 21
Abstract:
A wave attenuator structure for dissipation of wave energy of a body of water is described. The structure preferably is equipped with a substantially horizontal base, a foot extending substantially vertically downward from the base, and a wall extending substantially vertically upward from the base. The wall forms a water-facing face, which face slopes in the direction of the body of water. The wall and the base define a plurality of channels sized and configured to receive one or more respective anchor devices for anchoring the wave attenuator structure in soil.
