Royal Haskoning takes these considerations seriously when creating breakwaters. Our expertise includes feasibility studies, preliminary and final designs, project management and supervision of the construction.
A long record of designing and creating breakwaters around the world, and of repairing and maintaining existing structures, means we bring substantial practical experience to each new challenge.
Breakwater solutions adopted include conventional rubble mound with rock or concrete armour units; dynamic berm structures; full depth caissons and mounded caissons; piled wave screens and similar structures.
Breakwaters
Ideally a marine facility is located where a headland or offshore island provides protection from sea and swell.
However, this it not always possible and artificial protection is needed through the use of breakwaters. Such structures, whilst fundamental to the safe operation of the facility, are costly and in themselves non revenue earning. So cost effective solutions are needed, with construction being phased in line with the overall development requirements.
