Breakwaters and defences
Breakwaters, moles and jetties often form the basis of port and coastal development schemes, and Sogreah excels in the design of such structures. Since inventing the Tetrapod armouring blocks in the early 1950s, Sogreah revolutionised coastal defence techniques by introducing a much more economical single-layer armouring technique, the ACCROPODETM block, in the early 1980s. This was followed in the late 1990s by the ECOPODETM block, which blends in with the site environment and, most recently, the new-generation ACCROPODETM II. These developments are the outcome of ongoing R&D work, capitalising on lessons learned from actual project sites and our scale model experiments at our hydraulics laboratory. We propose an array of economical solutions to protect the most highly exposed maritime structures through our subsidiary CLI (Concrete Layer Innovations).
