Secondary containment
11136185 · 2021-10-05 · ·

This patent pertains to secondary containment systems. One implementation includes a support assembly that includes an elongate post member and a stabilization plate. In one instance, a stabilization plate is mounted on the elongate post member to reduce movement of the elongate post member when the stabilization plate is embedded in the ground. Another implementation includes a panel splice assembly including reinforcing members that secure overlapping, corrugated panels.

Watertight flexible flood barrier system
10927520 · 2021-02-23 · ·

Disclosed is an improved flexible flood barrier system for creating a watertight barrier. The system includes a novel hinged clamping bar assembly configured to engage a hem of the fabric flood barrier. The fabric flood barrier is comprised of a waterproof layer reinforced with Kevlar straps. The Kevlar straps are weaved together through slots in one of the layers without the need for stitching upon any of the waterproof layers. When deployed the improved fabric flood barrier system prevents storm surges from breaching the flexible flood barrier system at the attachment points.

A reservoir tail reverse regulation method for native fish protection
20200315144 · 2020-10-08 ·

The invention discloses a reservoir tail reverse regulation method for native fish protection, comprising the steps that firstly, a breeding habitat of native fishes at reservoir tail of a cascade hydroelectric dam is determined; secondly, breeding characteristics of migration native fishes are determined, and an ecological conservation project of a reach of the breeding habitat at reservoir tail is carried out; thirdly, the length of the reservoir tail of a downstream hydropower station of a cascade hydroelectric project in March to May is determined through a field investigation, and the maximum range of a natural river channel downstream of the upstream cascade power station is judged and finally, the flow state of the reach at reservoir tail is reversely regulated to achieve the goal of discharging water of the natural river channel at the reservoir tail and ensuring the natural flow state of the natural river channel.

Precast dam structure with flowpath

A precast dam structure includes at least two precast segments coupled together via linkages and a flow path structure. The flow path structure defines a flow path having an intake port and a draft port and is associated with at least one of the at least two precast segments. The flow path structure is configured to provide a change in flow direction, either internally or externally, from the at least one of the at least two precast segments.

Wave suppressor and sediment collection system
10669684 · 2020-06-02 ·

A system and method to provide water and sediment flow through a dam or rock jetty, including a plurality of flow pipes positioned through the dam or jetty to receive water carrying sediment and a principal flow pipe to receive flow from the plurality of flow pipes and to deposit water and sediment a predetermined distance to the rear of the dam or jetty. A continuous trough may be mounted on the jetty forward face to efficiently capture water and sediment at entrances of the plurality of flow pipes. A system and method is also provided to suppress wave action against a shoreline and to collect sediment to build up the shoreline, comprising shelves extending out from a front wall of each body section, below a plurality of flow pipes, the shelves for shearing a wave and dispersing and using wave energy to direct sediment through the flow pipes.
