Sustainable coastline protection with noninterlocking concrete slab revetments
The consequences of climate change are also evident in Europe – one example is the rise of water levels in the North and Baltic Seas. Protection of the coastline plays therefore an important role. Non-interlocking concrete block revetments are therefore the ideal alternative for use in and near the water.
The impact of climate change is also evident in Europe. In addition to summer droughts and torrential rain and flooding, water levels in the North and Baltic Seas are rising as well. Protection of the coastline therefore plays an important role when combating climate change and its accompanying effects. In building and upgrading dikes, sustainable revetments – as sustainable surfaces for dikes and embankments are called – are therefore essential.
Concrete, owing to its material properties, is the ideal material for use in and near the water. It is maintenance-free, durable and has high...
