Coastal Engineering
Experience
Marine works in coastal regions is an area in which
KW Ltd has a keen interest and growing expertise. The
range of coastal engineering studies already carried
out includes the following:
• Coastal protection works for pipeline shore
crossings.
• Design of breakwaters, including submerged breakwaters.
• Wave penetration modelling in water basins/
lagoons.
• Hydrodynamics modelling.
• Water quality modelling.
• Sea walls, quay walls, piers.
KW can demonstrate a second to none track record in
providing state-of-the-art solutions to complex problems.
Technical Capability
Numerical modelling of marine processes, including:
• Wave propagation.
• Tidal/hydrodynamics modelling.
• Dispersion modelling.
Design of marine works, including:
• Pipeline landfalls or shore crossings.
• Intakes and outfalls.
• Port and harbour works.
• Breakwaters.
• Fixed structures.
• Floating structures.
Environmental Impact Studies associated with coastal
works:
• Assessment of sediment transport effects.
• Prediction of pollutant concentrations.
• Prediction of thermal effects.
In addition, KW can undertake the management of coastal
projects and co-ordination of associated studies such
as physical modelling and marine life impacts.
