Contemporary breakwater methods
Breakwaters are often used to protect marine infrastructure from wave and current action. They can be either offshore or attached to the shoreline. In order to provide calm sea basins where port activities can be successfully and securely performed, the breakwater dissipates offshore wave energy.
These fortifications originally took the form of rubble mounds that were surrounded on both sides by armour levels comprised of enormous natural stones or man-made concrete blocks. You can expedite construction and lower total breakwater expenses by substituting Special Tubes filled with dredged material (sand or silt) for the rubble mound’s core material.
In order to safeguard beaches, submerged structures are frequently employed to contain the seaward-facing foot of artificial nourishments. By providing solutions that take into account the availability of materials, environmental requirements, and the building methodology chosen by the contractor, we support designers and construction businesses.
