Design of a wave protection structure and analysis by means of 3D scan measurements
Study of a wave protection structure for artifical islands
Client: Royal HaskoningDHV - Scale: 1/30
Wave flume modelling (2D)Background
Royal HaskoningDHV has appointed ARTELIA to undertake 2D physical model tests with a view to dimensioning the wave protection structures for the artificial islands located within Al Nouf Field in the North-East Bab area (NEB).
Study of 2 typical cross-sections
Aim of the physical scale model
Analysis of the wave stability of the various structure components
Analysis of the reprofiling of the armour by means of 3D scan measurements
Measurement of overtoppings events
Analysis of damages with 3D scanning
Specific features of the project
The island is 950 m long and 250 m wide (excluding revetment)
Armour - 3-6 t rocks, slope 1V:3H
Design for the 1-500y Return Period Wave Conditions
