THE WAVE DISSIPATION
SYSTEM ™
BEACH EROSION CONTROL
Beach erosion affects most beaches in the United States. Waves and currents, particularly those associated with storm events, can wreak havoc on public beaches and can undermine the foundations of structures built too close to the shore.
The erosion and possible buildup of specific beach areas involve complex coastal geological processes and are a natural phenomenon. As such, many states enforce or support some sort of “retreat” policy that encourages new structures be built further from the beach.
The sleeping giant remains the existing infrastructure (e.g., hotels, homes, and major roads) that are already too close to the shore. Should these structures be protected? Should state and federal funding be used to increase their probability of survival? Should repair of these structures be permitted when the natural erosion process undermines their foundation?
For property owners, the only feasible and permitted solution is often the continuous and expensive stacking and replacing of large sandbags in front of their threatened structure. Our wave dissipation system is the solution to beach erosion.

• PROTECTS BEACHES AND DUNES• DISSIPATES WAVE ENERGY • ALLOWS WATER AND SAND TO PASS THROUGH VS HARDENED SEAWALLS• FULLY ADJUSTABLE FOR SAND FLOW FLUCTUATIONS• ALLEVIATES SCOURGING AND EROSION CAUSED BY HARDENED SEAWALLS • SMALL FOOTPRINT• QUICKLY INSTALLED, ADJUSTED OR REMOVED• ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMPARED TO ALTERNATIVES.• CAN BE USED ON LAKES AND RIVERS TO PROTECT EROSION FROM WIND DRIVEN WAVES AND BOAT WAKES. The conclusion made during all phases of research performed to date is that the Wave Dissipation System is able to:1) Protect structures, dunes, flora, and fauna that are landward of the system2) Minimize the potential for negative impacts that are associated with hardened devices3) Result in significant sand accretion retarding local erosion effects .
