Abstract
A temporary construction harbour was built for the Egyptian Liquified Natural Gas (ELNG) facility in Abu Qir Bay on Egypt’s Mediterranean Sea coast, west of the Rosetta Nile. A shoreline impact assessment was undertaken during the planning process which involved modelling the existing beach processes as well as shoreline development during construction, operation, decommissioning and recovery. Based on this assessment and modelling, a schedule of shoreline management and monitoring was proposed to ensure that the temporary harbour did not have a negative impact on the shoreline over its three year life. ELNG followed the proposed programme under scrutiny from the Egyptian Shoreline Protection Agency (SPA) and successfully restored the beach to its pre-construction state. This paper discusses the ELNG project, beach modelling, monitoring and the management programme as a case study, and assesses the beach modelling against the unique field data set.
