Planing Different Construction Strategies to a Proposed Protection to Reduce the Cost and Improve the Shoreline Shape

Publication: World Environmental and Water Resource Congress 2006: Examining the Confluence of Environmental and Water Concerns

Abstract

In this paper, the effect of the construction strategy on the final cost (of a shoreline protection system) and the shoreline shape, was investigated. A protection measure, which was designed to protect Sama El-Arish village, along the Mediterranean Sea at El-Arish, Egypt, was considered. This system is a 3-graded length permeable rubble groins spaced at different distances supplied with nourishment at the down-drift, at the East, Balah and El-Serafy. Different strategies were planned. Each strategy was simulated. The simulation modeled the construction phases of each strategy. Based on the modeled construction phases, the strategies were economically evaluated and compared to the originally proposed designed system. Also, the effects of the different construction strategies on the shoreline shape were evaluated and compared to the originally proposed designed system. The comparison showed the effect of the construction strategy on the final cost of the structure and the shoreline shape.
