To enhance the level of protection a 250 m long spur groin has been constructed in 2012 aiming to retain sand and thereby widening the protective beach and a \u2018far\u2019 future extension of another 300 m is foreseen. A secondary aim of this groin is to reduce the sedimentation of the harbour entrance by blocking the eastward directed sediment flux caused by the predominantly SSW swell.\r\n\r\nThis study had the following objectives:\r\n\r\n    Assess the effectiveness of the present spur groin\r\n    Assess the effectiveness of the \u2018far\u2019 future groin which is extended by another 300 m.\r\n    Quantify the annual maintenance dredging requirement of the approach channel both for the 300 m and the 600 m long spur groin.\r\n    Investigate the predictability of currents in the harbour entrance.\r\n\r\nThis study aimed to provide insight into the amount of sand passing-by the tip of the groin. The second aim was to quantify the annual maintenance dredging requirement of the approach channel.\r\n\r\nFor this study a morphological 2D model (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/model-onderzoek\/finel\/\">FINEL<\/a>) was developed coupled with wave modelling (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/model-onderzoek\/swan\/\">SWAN<\/a>) to calculate long term development of the coastline and studying current patterns around the harbour."},"slider":[{"image":2150,"video":""},{"image":2152,"video":""},{"image":2154,"video":""},{"image":2156,"video":""}],"expert_guy":{"left":{"title":"More information?","content":"Please contact Bastiaan Les.","linkedin_link":"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/bastiaan-les-21a74b3\/","email":"les@svasek.nl"},"right":{"title":"Bastiaan Les","designation":"Project leader","photo":1181}},"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\/2162","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\/2150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2162"},{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=2162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
