1. Site Preparation:
Clear the designated area at the river, ensuring the removal of debris
and unstable soil to establish a stable construction surface.
2. Foundation Establishment:
Place geotextile fabric on the prepared surface to prevent soil erosion.
Carefully lay core stones to form a solid foundation for the breakwater.
3. Layered Construction Approach:
Begin building the breakwater in a layered fashion, with each layer
serving a specific purpose in absorbing and dissipating wave energy
effectively.
Initial layers comprise graded stones, chosen for stability and water
percolation to minimize erosion.
Subsequent layers involve the incorporation of larger armor stones,
strategically positioned to enhance the structure's resilience against
powerful wave impacts.
4. Armoring:
Cap the breakwater's crest with
substantial and interlocking armor
stones, forming a robust protective
barrier against wave forces.
Ensure precision in the placement
of these armor stones, as their
arrangement is crucial in
maintaining the breakwater's
structural integrity and
effectiveness.
5. Monitoring and Inspection:
Establish a regular regimen for monitoring and periodic inspections to
assess structural stability, identify potential issues, and implement
proactive maintenance, ensuring continuous functionality and
longevity of the breakwater.
