INTEGRATED ARMOR SYSTEM

摘要

An erosion control system is useful for coastlines, riverbeds, and the like from soil erosion caused by a wavefront. The system typically includes an integrated armored layer mounted upon and covering an embankment adjacent to the shoreline. The armored layer comprises a plurality of blocks (30) affixed together in a chainlike configuration (24). The blocks (30) are secured together by adjoining members (40) disposed between neighboring blocks (30). Each chain (24) is linearly aligned in a direction abutting the wavefront, and each chain (24) abuts neighboring chains, but not affixed in any manner thereto.
