Boskalis is doing the Marine Construction. Two major fairly constant environmental parameters are the basis of the concept: abundance of sand and dominant swell waves originating from a narrow bandwidth of directions. The resulting constant (net and gross) alongshore sediment transport enables a stable sandbar over time, to serve as main part of the breakwater. Main advantages of this breakwater are:
- Easier to construct as less rock need to be sourced;
- Nature constantly introduces sand to keep the sandbar stable
- Significant reduction of costs.
The project has started in October 2017 and completion by Boskalis is expected around June 2018. CDR is providing the following services:
- Conceptual & Detailed Design
- Morpho-Hydraulic Modelling of Sandbar and Sand Engine
- Tender Documents
- Technical Tender Evaluation
- 3D Design Modelling,
- 3D Physical Modelling Study on Sandbar Groyne Stability
- On- and offsite overall Engineering Consultancy to Client during entire course of the project
