2059136 9114047 PCTABS00007 Coastal maintenance, such as for beaches or navigable channels. Fluidized subsoil, whether from beach enhancement or from clearing a channel if not swept onto a nearby beach (Figs. 1, 2) may be fed into an alongshore current (Figs. 9, 10, 11, 12), or piping, and be transported elsewhere. Water is removed from subsoil underlying a beach (Figs. 13, 14, 16) via first foraminous pipes (71, 73) and is jetted (Fig. 15) via other foraminous pipes (81, 83, 87, 89), interconnected by a non-foraminous pipe (75), into adjacent offshore subsoil to fluidize it. As an alternative to continuous flow, fluidization via a piping array is augmented by sequential timing in a manner resembling peristalsis, to generate lateral flow (Figs. 7A, 7B, 7C; 8A, 8B, 8C). Valve-control means (Figs. 6) opens and closes individually valved water-jetting branch tubes (6; Figs. 3, 4) in accordance with a pre-set pattern of sequence and duration or sensors (3; Figs. 5A, 5B) of fluid flow and/or pressure.
