Harbor Access Road Stabilization Design Project

Abstract

Many location of shoreline erosion have been identified in the United States coast and their territories. AES Puerto Rico Harbor road has eroded and created unstable soil conditions. The California Department of Public Work and the University of California have researched the causes of this erosion and the topographic conditions. Several techniques have been created and implemented to solve the problem worldwide, with effective results, preserving the original shoreline condition. Based in the laboratory soil test result, the proper technique to implement can be Rip Rap and Gabion. The designer has recommended the Rip Rap instead of Gabion. The engineering consultant requested a Joint Permit Application from the United States Corps of Engineer and the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources. The Rip Raps technique demonstrated to be the most adequate and cost effective for the eroded shoreline. Key Terms ⎯ Gabion, Joint Permit Application, Rip Rap, Shoreline erosion.
