Abstract

The shoreline in Pontecagnano (Italy) is experiencing erosion. A system of submerged breakwaters, covering about 4.5 km length, parallel to the coast, is proposed as coastal protection. HR Wallingford was commissioned by Technital, on behalf of Consorzio Stabile Grandi Lavori S.C.R.L. to undertake a 2D physical model and cross-shore numerical modelling to support the process of selecting of the preferred design option.
This poster sets out the elements of the modelling undertaken to evaluate the different design options in terms of the beach response.
