Impressive Embankment and Breakwater Construction Projects Around the World

🌊The construction of Acrod Dam and Sea Wall utilizes a new generation of Acrod blocks for easier and faster installation.

⛏️The construction process involves collecting and sorting rocks and materials from the sea, as well as excavating the seabed.

🔗The Acrod blocks are anchored to the seabed using various techniques, ensuring their stability and integration into the overall structure.

⛰️Tetrapods, wave dissipating blocks, are produced using a multi-stage process to ensure durability and effective wave energy dissipation.

🏗️Casin structures, used for key walls in port facilities, are pre-fabricated on land and then transferred to their designated positions using airbags and careful maneuvering.

What is the purpose of Acrod blocks in the construction of the Acrod Dam?

—Acrod blocks are used in the construction of the Acrod Dam to provide stability and protection against powerful sea storms. They are designed to be easy to install and integrate into the dam structure.

How are Tetrapods manufactured and what is their purpose?

—Tetrapods are produced using a multi-stage process that involves assembly, pouring of concrete mix, compaction, curing, and finishing. Their purpose is to dissipate wave energy and protect coastal areas from erosion.

What is the advantage of using Casin structures in port construction?

—Casin structures offer advantages such as reduced construction time, enhanced worker safety, lower environmental impact, and flexibility in manufacturing and joining structures in different locations before floating them to their final position.

How are Casin structures transferred to their designated positions?

—Casin structures are transferred using airbags that create a cushion of air, reducing friction and allowing the smooth movement of the structures. Tugs are then used to maneuver them into position.

What is the purpose of Tetrapods in coastal engineering?

—Tetrapods are used in coastal engineering to dissipate wave energy and protect coastlines from erosion. They are designed to withstand the force of waves and provide stability to shorelines.
