San Sebastian, Spain
Service: Detailed Design
Client: Basque Government
Period: 2018
The noses of the breakwaters of the Port have been monitored topographically since 2011 to evaluate the progress of the damages until then detected, mainly cracks on the pavements and undercuts on the base of the docks.
The scope of the project included the rehabilitation of both noses, placing 73 concrete piles of 85 cm of diameter in front of the noses, the dredging of the mouth, and the placing of protection blocks at the bed of the mouth. The blocks weighted 500kg when placed in a single layer, and 200kg when placed in a doubled layer.
