Abstract:
A system and method to provide water and sediment flow through a dam or rock jetty, including a plurality of flow pipes positioned through the dam or jetty to receive water carrying sediment and a principal flow pipe to receive flow from the plurality of flow pipes and to deposit water and sediment a predetermined distance to the rear of the dam or jetty. A continuous trough may be mounted on the jetty forward face to efficiently capture water and sediment at entrances of the plurality of flow pipes. A system and method is also provided to suppress wave action against a shoreline and to collect sediment to build up the shoreline, comprising shelves extending out from a front wall of each body section, below a plurality of flow pipes, the shelves for shearing a wave and dispersing and using wave energy to direct sediment through the flow pipes.

Claim (Index 29):
A system for suppressing wave action against a shoreline and collecting sediment to build up the shoreline, comprising:\n a) a section having a sidewall, a rear wall, a front wall, and a flow pipe extending between at least the front wall and the rear wall of the section, the flow pipe adapted to flow water and sediment from the flow pipe to a rear of the section; and b) a shelf extending out from the front wall, the shelf positioned for shearing a wave and dispersing wave energy contacting the front wall, while redirecting and using the wave energy to direct water and sediment flow into the flow pipe and for collecting sediment that is not carried into the flow pipe and settles on the shelf for being contacted by a following wave to carry the sediment into the flow pipe.
