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
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
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
