Jim Boudreaux's Flood Levee amp; Barrier Protection System
This invention would be of great use if applied the right way.
By that I mean, as a way to protect people's lives and property
It has a steel structural inside of a mud levee.
The structural slides up and down pipes that are driven into the bottom on
each corner of the box structural. Thus protecting the mud on the inside from
washing away from storm surges
It also addresses the problem of the liquefied zone at the toe wedge, which
causes the levee to slide downward. As the box slides downward,
add another box on top and regain the original height of the levee.
The weight of the box is 6 tons (10ft x 10ft x 20ft long).
The mud on the inside weighs 100 tons.
The mud on the inside the box slides downward and corrects the liquefied zone on the bottom. You will notice the mud level lowing on the top of the levee.
That means the levee problem on the bottom is being corrected. And more mud on the top to maintain the pressure within the box.
So if you want armor, this is it. No questions about that.
