  • Publication number: 20050232700
    Abstract: Apparatus for maintenance of a seawall comprises a plurality of anchoring members for being introduced through the seawall, a single retaining member for being secured on ends of the anchoring members which extend from a water facing side of the seawall, and a plurality of securing members for securing the retaining member on the ends of the anchoring members to tension the anchoring members and apply compressive force against the seawall. Another apparatus for maintenance of a seawall includes a retaining member having a rearward face beyond which the securing member and the end of the anchoring member do not protrude when installed on a seawall. An anchoring device installation system and method involves the use of a rail fixated to a floor at the bottom of a body of water on the water facing side of the seawall to guide formation of a passage in the seawall and the introduction of an anchoring member through the passage at preselected vertical and lateral angles.

  • Publication number: 20050008439
    Abstract: Apparatus for maintaining a seawall disposed between a body of water and retained earth includes at least two anchoring devices installed on the seawall at spaced locations and a connecting member for rigidly interconnecting the anchoring devices to maintain the separation distance therebetween. The connecting member may have a fixed length or may be adjustable in length to adjust the separation distance between the anchoring devices. A method of maintaining a seawall involves forming a passage through the seawall from a water facing side to an earth facing side of the seawall, inserting an anchoring member in the passage, advancing the anchoring member into the retained earth to anchor an anchor of the anchoring member in the retained earth, and securing a retaining member on the anchoring member along the water facing side of the seawall to apply compressive force against the seawall.
