An offshore breakwater and limited beach nourishment are proposed.\r\n\r\nThe offshore wave climate has been set up by applying 21 years of modelled wind data (NCEP) in a custom made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/model-onderzoek\/swan\/\">SWAN<\/a> Mediterranean Sea Model.\r\n\r\nWave penetration into Marsalforn Bay has been simulated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/model-onderzoek\/hares\/\">HARES<\/a> (with a parallel study conducted with a detailed SWAN model). The storms at the start of 2012 are used in calibration. Numerous HARES simulations were made to study the different lay-outs and for the optimisation of the proposed offshore breakwater.\r\n\r\nFinally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/model-onderzoek\/finel\/\">FINEL<\/a> is applied to study circulation in the basin given the proposed solutions. This research prevents unforeseen stagnancy and\/or sand transport issues."},"slider":[{"image":2041,"video":""},{"image":2043,"video":""},{"image":2049,"video":""},{"image":2047,"video":""},{"image":2045,"video":""}],"expert_guy":{"left":{"title":"More information?","content":"Please contact Bernard Eikema.","linkedin_link":"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/bernard-eikema\/","email":"eikema@svasek.nl"},"right":{"title":"Bernard Eikema","designation":"Project leader","photo":874}},"cta":{"title":"MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SVA\u0160EK OR OUR EXPERTISES?","text":"Please contact us or make an appointment.","link":{"title":"CONTACT US","url":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/contact\/","target":""}},"custom_links":{"linked_url":""},"hide":[]},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/2050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2050"},{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=2050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
