Client: Grand Port Maritime de La Réunion - Scale: 1/59 Trunk section of the caisson equipped with its sensitive element for the measurement of global forces
Redevelopment of the port area and increase in container storage capacity by creating an offshore platform protected by two possible types of dikes. Tests in wave flume (2D)
Embankment seawall alternative: analysis of the hydraulic stability of the armour and the toe, measurement of the overtoppings, global forces and pressures on the crown wall
Caisson alternative: analysis of stability of toe rocks and caisson itself. Measurement of the forces and pressures exerted by the waves on the caisson
Crownwall equipped with the load cell for measuring global forces
Specific features of the project Waves impact on the caisson
Armour in 20 m3 Accropode™ II
3-4T rockfill at the toe
Additional area of land of 2,5 to 4 Ha according to the alternatives
