|
| We have to extend both piers with new breakwaters to the east and then curve them towards each other. |
|
| All around our coastline we have estuaries, docks, harbours, marshes and breakwaters. |
|
| During migration and winter, they inhabit rocky coasts, reefs, jetties, and breakwaters. |
|
| Physical barriers include full and partial blockages of aquatic systems by dams, causeways, breakwaters, and culverts. |
|
| As such, if there are no breakwaters, the infrastructure or rock fill will only erode further with time. |
|
| The survey of soil stability before constructing heavy industrial buildings, bridges, harbour quays and breakwaters, dams, piling, airfields. |
|
| A project to reinforce and protect one of the timber crib breakwaters with armourstone will be carried out this year. |
|
| They are a source of biodiversity, food, beach sand, and building materials, and function as natural breakwaters along the coast. |
|
| The haul road will be used to ferry materials from the quarry to the beach for the construction of the breakwaters and related marine infrastructure. |
|
| The council suggested two breaks be created in the breakwaters enclosing the harbour to assist in the flushing out of sediment or organic detritus. |
|
| Coastal defences: Structures such as sea walls, jetties, breakwaters and artificial islands can protect land near the ocean from flooding. |
|
| The installation of groynes, breakwaters, or protective sea walls has knock-on effects on the natural circulation of water and sediment in the near-shore environment. |
|
| In the 19th century the greatest engineering addition to the bay was the construction of the Harbour with its two-tiered breakwaters or piers and wonderful granite stonework. |
|
| Thin ice was driven ashore with a tremendous force, ripping apart sheds, breakwaters and boats and wrecking fishing gear. |
|
|
|
| They are natural breakwaters, reducing the destructive force of wave action during storm tides. |
|
| The building of jetties or breakwaters, for example, may interfere with natural circulation features. |
|
| The port's natural harbour is sheltered from east winds and protected by breakwaters. |
|
| Sea-level rise will reduce the sheltering effect of breakwaters and quays wall. |
|
| Detached breakwaters are shore protection structures, created to build up sandy material in order to accommodate drawdown in storm conditions. |
|
| Armoring involves building revetments, seawalls, detached breakwaters, groins, etc. |
|
| Groynes and breakwaters that run perpendicular to the shore protect it from erosion. |
|
| Then she got caught between two breakwaters. |
|
| Engineering protection and stabilization strategies such as breakwaters, seawall and concrete structures to prevent coastal areas from washing away. |
|
| Confirms that all wharves, piers, docks, bridges, causeways, breakwaters and other similar structures contiguous to a boundary of a municipality are included within the municipality. |
|
| Then, I was there: I could see, even in the mist, Spurn Head stretching out ahead of me in the gloom, its spine covered in marram grass and furze, its shingle flanks speared with the rotting spars of failed breakwaters. |
|
| Over the long term, they fill up with sand and the embankments thus formed serve as breakwaters and reduce the erosive action of the water against the berm on the landward part of the beach. |
|
| For instance, to address flooding and erosion on low elevation coastal zones, the usual measures to protect settlements are to build breakwaters, seafront walls and beach defences. |
|
| The model can be applied to a diverse variety of situations involving almost arbitrary numbers, locations, and combinations of groins, jetties, detached breakwaters, seawalls, and beach fills. |
|
| The presence of marinas in the environment may lead to varying degrees of changes in hydrodynamics, depending on the scope of the work and in-place structures like breakwaters. |
|
| Over this year and next, work will include leveling and recapping the two breakwaters, replacing the fendering on the marginal wharf and repairing the slipway. |
|
| Docks, breakwaters and other harbour works were built by hand, often in a grand scale. |
|
| These breakwaters have been extended and adapted so that the port lies almost entirely on reclaimed land. |
|
| These were known as the Admiralty Quarries, and provided 10,000 tons of stone per week for use on the breakwaters. |
|
| As part of defence works against the threat torpedo attack, work commenced on two northern breakwaters to complete the enclosed harbour. |
|
|
|
| One of the most dominant of the defence structures is the Portland Breakwater Fort, located on one of the outer breakwaters. |
|
| The space between the breakwaters acts as slits which cause the incoming water waves to diffract. |
|
| Limpets may be built into harbour breakwaters in Scotland and Spain. Dozens of wave-energy technologies are being developed around the world: ideas, in other words, are not what has held the field back. |
|
| Strong winter winds make extensive breakwaters necessary in Aomori's artificial harbour, which ships lumber and fish and is noted for coastal trade. |
|
| Most of you are asking for breakwaters to be installed. |
|
| Waste disposal, fuel storage, docks and breakwaters area, etc. |
|
| This capability greatly enhances the accuracy and reliability of tests conducted with reflective structures such as revetments and caisson breakwaters. |
|
| Coral reefs function as natural, self-repairing, and self-sustaining breakwaters, protecting the often low-lying land behind them from the effects of storms and rising sea levels. |
|
| The study suggests to implement the project on a BOT basis where the government would be responsible for financing the breakwaters, dredging and reclamation, and additional works outside of the port. |
|
| An amazingly adaptable and opportunistic bird, it is equally at home nesting on natural islands or on human-made breakwaters, piers, and waste grounds. |
|
| The oval shape and the breakwaters of this beach protect it from currents and make it an ideal place to bathe or to take one's first steps in nautical sports. |
|
| A further barrier against submarine attack came in 1914 when the battleship HMS Hood was scuttled across the vulnerable southern entrance to the 1849 breakwaters. |
|
| During 1848, HM Prison Portland was opened to provide convict labour, to quarry the stone needed to construct the breakwaters and the harbour defences. |
|
| They built walls underwater and constructed solid breakwaters. |
