Solutions overview

Scour Protection systems are constructed to prevent the beds of rivers, harbors and ocean outlets from scour, which can occur near hydraulic and marine structures.

Revetments are used in coastal and marine environments to protect the toes of coastal cliffs, bluffs and dunes, and to protect exposed land areas.

Groynes are structures that run perpendicular to the coastline and intercept the transport of sediment within the surf zone. As well as preventing beach erosion, groynes facilitate sand accretion by slowing down water velocities.

Protection dykes (levees) are used to control the movement of water in confined areas to prevent flooding and other water damage. Protection dykes are used to continually control and constrict the flow of water.

Breakwaters are marine structures that have the primary function of dissipating wave energy. They reduce the wave energy by partial reflection as well as by energy breaking on the structure.
