Structural Rehabilitation of the Holly Beach Louisiana Breakwater Field

Publication: Coastal Structures 2003

Abstract

The breakwater field in Holly Beach Louisiana was constructed in the early 1990's by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) in response to continued erosion of the shoreline and damage to Highway LA 82. Subsequent to the installation of the breakwater field, the beach continued to erode throughout the majority of the breakwater field. The continued erosion prompted the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources (LADNR) to undertake a sand management study to better understand the erosion and to protect the road and environmentally sensitive marshes. The management plan recommendations included a beach nourishment project and structural rehabilitation of some of the breakwaters. These works were constructed in 2002–2003. This paper describes the improvements to the breakwater units.
