ABSTRACT:
A surface device with erosion control features consisting of uniform T-shaped elements made of various materials (wood, metals, plastics, composites, fiberglass, reinforced concrete etc.) that are secured in a relative position to each other forming a coffer dam erosion containment and loadbearing surface. The securing methods of stapling the T-shaped elements to wire mesh or fabric backing (wood elements) or using connecting cabling, wire, rope, chains, rods, ties, pins, etc. with the (metal, plastic, fiberglass and concrete T-shaped elements) in addition to reinforcing and containment provides a means of prefabbing mats or modules of desired sizes for handling, storage, transportation and application. These mats can be used in highway construction for: stabilizing soils under roadbeds, as highway shoulders, ditch linings and erosion control of embankments. The invention can be used to construct secondary roads, logging roads, nature trails, bike and golf cart paths. These mats have military and emergency disaster uses to build temporary roads, landing strips, parking ramps, repair bomb damaged surfaces or for any use requiring a stable surface. The device of larger and heavier sizes (concrete versions) can be used to build up and restore beach and dune areas lost by erosion from natural phenomena and provide protection to coastal structures, buildings, breakwaters, sea walls, channels, etc. from erosion caused by tides, wave actions, and the forces of storms and hurricanes.
