Sand on Barrier Islands WITHOUT Barriers, False Protection

Sand on Barrier Islands WITHOUT Barriers, offers a False sense of Protection

Nature was eroded away by storm surges where there were NO Barriers to protect the sand and silt that provides nourishment to Barrier Islands and Coast Lines along waters edge. By pumping sand and silt along Barrier Islands and Coast Lines WITHOUT Barrier protection, is a disaster in the making.

Water intrusion comes from the bottom as well as the top. If this problem is not corrected, you have a false sense of protection.

When a storm surge comes WITHOUT Barriers to hold or contain the sand or silt, the sand and / or silt will wash away and be carried back into the sea by everyday surge and storm surge.

"Looks can be deceiving". A large display of sand can easily be wash back to sea if not protected by Barriers strong enough to withstand the powerful destruction force of a storm surge.

With this invention, the force of Nature by means of storm surges, is used to build the wall of Barrier protection needed to be used against it. By containing the large amounts of sand that is brought in by storm surges, that goes over and between this invention prevents the sand from being washed back out to sea. This invention is strong enough to withstand the power of storm surges and at the same time protect against salt-water intrusion and provide Land Restoration.

By providing multiple lines of protection just beneath the sand surface, sand and /or silt is retained and provide the environment so that nature can begin to rebuild itself. This invention also weakens the power and height of storm surges to lessen the damage that would have been caused. If and when damage occurs to this invention, it can be quickly repaired to maintain the same level of protection.

There is almost NO maintenance on this invention. By visual inspection, when areas are lower than other areas, simply add a section on top of lower existing section to maintain desired height.

Would like to know practicality of barriers

Cost etimate, for example for Absecon Island (Atlantic Cityy, NJ)

[re9t2]

To provide Absecon Island (Atlantic City, NJ)with the most strongest levee and barrier system ever invented and a system that can be added to any height needed. Cost Per Mile On Barrier Island or Along outer edges of Island in water in front or back of Island, would be 3.5 to 5 million per mile for 10ft high X 10ft wide for storm surge and salt water intrusion (erosion) protection.This design would contain sand or silt and prevent from being washed back out to sea. On land anywhere .5 to 1.5 M.

Thank you for the information. Am I to understand that you yourself have a company with the capacity to carry out such a project? If not, please advise who might be able to do it.

Local engineers and contractors from within the community can design the size needed within their control to begin building on a small scale, exam, drainage. This way lots of money would be saved by doing the work locally. Not mentioning stimulating the local economy while building the strongest protection ever invented. Once the cost has been made, a small percentage of that cost would go for the use of the patent system. Work can begin instantly. Once seen, larger protection could be funded.
