- Peterhead Breakwater, Scotland
-
-
CGR was asked to undertake the preliminary design of a concrete caisson for the outer breakwater construction at Peterhead Bay, Scotland. The purpose of the design was to carry out a cost estimate for comparison with a rubble mound breakwater. The outer breakwater was required to protect the local harbour against significant wave heights of 18m and to provide an all weather berth for a 1 in 10 year storm event.
- Propeller Jet Scour Revetment Design, Portbury, United Kingdom
-
-
A new berth at Portbury was being developed to cater for Capesize bulk carrier vessels. The berth is situated within an impounded lock where tug assistance for berthing and unberthing is essential due to the minimal space available for manoeuvring of the vessels. The tug manoeuvres involve directing propeller jet flows (including flows from Kort nozzles) towards a silty bank. The bank was identified as vulnerable to scour and erosion during these unavoidable manoeuvres. The propeller wash from the bulk vessel was also considered as a potential initiator of scour on the bank in certain circumstances.
