Hi

If you can elaborate a bit more with your question I may be able to answer you as we are dealing with diamond diving at our training school

If I cannot answer your question, maybe I can get someone who can as I have links with the various universities in southern africa.

Hi

From what I can ascertain from your question, it would be a concrete "Dolos" as it is called in South Africa.

It is a concrete structure designed to stop the breakwater from destroying a pier or jetty, or even from eroding land where it has been reclaimed.

If you are really interested come back to me and I will do a little more research for you.
