Wave overtopping mitigation at main breakwater of the Olympic Harbour of Barcelona

Project description

The project proposes a solution to the problems derived from the overtopping, by means of a joint action on both the breakwater and the existing submerged breakwaters in front of it. The action on the breakwater is formalized with the construction of a reinforced concrete breakwater type piece, while the action on the submerged breakwaters is done with the reconstruction of the current breakwater and the formation of a new lining formed by a layer of 25 Tn mass concrete blocks. The project also includes the superficial rehabilitation of the emerged structure of the breakwater.
