Elastomeric revetments: A new way of coastal protection

A new construction method of Polyurethane (PUR)-bonded revetments has been tested successfully as stable breakwater constructions on various locations in Germany (“Hamburg Hallig”, “Holm Gröde”), as dike revetment in the Netherlands (breakwater revetment in Zuidbout and Petten), as shoreline protection in France (canal embankment near Le Havre),...

Recent laboratory tests with elastomeric revetments

A new construction method of Polyurethane (PUR)-bonded revetments has been tested successfully on various locations in Germany, in the Netherlands, in France, and in the UK. See also the presentation of Bijlsma on this ICE breakwater conference. This year a series of large scale test in the GWK-facility in Hannover have been executed. This...
