Value engineering studies optimisation of wave wall design of the main sea defence of the Eko Atlantic city development (www.ekoatlantic.com) by adopting an alternative approach for wave overtopping reduction.
Presentation of the paper: “Icelandic-type berm breakwater for the Hambantota artificial island revetment, application of geometrical design rules” by CDR team members who have been working on the Hambantota port project for CHEC Sri Lanka.
CDR participation and presentation by Mr. Dirk Heijboer (download).
The main topics are the regularly occurring discrepancies of hydraulic boundary design conditions in the UAE (in particular after the Gonu and Phet cyclones) and the development of the CrablockTM in the UAE as primary armour unit for sea defences and breakwaters.
