Floating Breakwater
9Pages

The breakwater is a modular design element that gives great scalability and flexibility. It has a polygonal shape and is made of low density polyethylene (LDPE). Its weight is 7kg. The design of the unit allows it to be filled with water to precisely adjust the buoyancy. It can also be filled with sand or expanded polystyrene which makes the unit imprervious. Each breakwater unit is connected to a cable system – rope and additional parts with EPDM cladding, as well as a stainless steel anchoring system. Its innovative shape not only attenuates the ripple, but also improves the breakwater...

Technical Characteristics Shape: Polygonal 34 sides Material: Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Weight: 7kg Dimensions: 75 x 75 x 27 cm (HxLxW) UV protection Life span 20+ years Modular construction Expanded polystyrene lling that makes in impermeable (optional)

In test, the oating breakwater has shown a transmission factor of 0.1-0.4 (diffuses 90% – 60% of the energy from the waves) for coastal waves with periods of 5 seconds. In appplications using a oating breakwater damper to minimize beach erosion as a mild application solution is even more effective. Given its exibility and modular structure requires little installation time. Can be easily removed and transported. It is very easy to modify the oating breakwater. If the original installation needs to be modied, the modular structure makes it relatively easy to adjust. The anchorage system...
