SANDSAVER, a.k.a. Sandgrabber, rebuilds sandy beaches and prevents shoreline erosion.

SANDSAVER consists of a series of trapezoid structures placed side-by-side, parallel to the shoreline.  These structures are hollow polyurethane shells filled with cement.  Each module has twenty tubes that extend from the front wall to the rear wall. To see how SANDSAVER works please click here.

As the waves break onto the SANDSAVER, their momentum is dissipated.  Sand is deposited in the front, back, and sides of the modules.  The stronger the wave action, the faster the buildup of sand. Click here to view video.

After the SANDSAVER has been buried with sand, it can be either left in place or removed.  The modules can be reused.  They can be moved forward, toward the water line, to build a deeper beach, or moved laterally, extending the area of rebuilt beach.

A further benefit is the typically extra fine sand deposited by the waves behind the SANDSAVER. To read a detailed description of the scientific principles of SandGrabber and beach restoration, click here.

SANDSAVER is environmentally friendly.  It does not harm sea or shore life.  It does not starve adjacent shores
