A sluiceway device for a hopper barge has an elongate main body defining a discharge channel. The elongate main body has a plurality of openings. The elongate main body may be configured to be disposed atop a hull of the hopper barge and configured to receive dredging material placed in the hopper barge. The sluiceway device may also have a discharge pump. The discharge pump may be in communication with the discharge channel. The discharge pump may be further configured to pump the dredging material from the discharge channel to a disposal area outside of the hopper barge.

The invention relates to a sheet (1) to be placed in relation to a split barge (100) for encapsulating a bulk of material (101) to be dumped when the bulk of material is released, the sheet comprising a material containing portion (4) and at least one material free portion (3) extending from at least two opposed sides of the material containing portion, wherein that the immersed sheet encapsulating the bulk of material comprises an encapsulated body (20) encapsulated by the material containing (4) portion and a self-closing portion (22) being at least a part of the material free portion (3) both extending from an assembly point (21), wherein a closing length of the self-closing portion (22) correspond to at least 5% of the circumventing length of the encapsulated body (20), the circumventing length extending from the assembly point (21) to the assembly point (21). The invention further relates to a method of encapsulating a bulk of material by means of a sheet.

The present invention discloses a brick, comprising a brick body, which comprises at least one slot position for connecting a column, and a method for using the bricks to build dikes in water, including the following steps: (1) drilling a plurality of pile holes at water bottom; (2) casting concrete into each of the pile holes to form concrete columns; (3) stacking up a number of the bricks along the concrete columns and having them tightly connected to form a wall; (4) filling the clearances between the concrete columns and the bricks with mortar. The bricks and dike building method provided by the present invention are suitable for direct over-water dike building, the construction is fast and the dikes built are firm and stable, have superior waterproof function and can effectively prevent the impact of currents, winds and waves.
