Front-End Design of Shore Crossings
Front-End Design of Shore Crossings
The design process for cable and pipeline shore crossings is inherently interdisciplinary. It involves assessing the transition of waves from offshore to onshore environments, which determines the hydrodynamic forces affecting both the beachfront and landfall sites. Sediment movement along and across the shore is crucial in establishing the required burial depths for these installations. It is imperative to adhere to environmental standards throughout both the construction and operational phases. This article presents an overview of current best practices for quantifying the impacts of erosion and accretion at the landfall location, sea-level rise, and coastal storms to ensure a resilient shore crossing design.
