I am pleased to share that our paper on the design and construction of the New Cubipod armoured breakwater in Hanstholm, Denmark has finally been published in the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Maritime Engineering.
The paper is an extended version of the conference paper that I presented at the “ICE Coasts, Maritime Structures and Breakwaters” conference in Portsmouth in 2023.
The paper, a result of the fruitful collaboration between COWI, Per Aarsleff A/S and SATO, contains valuable lessons for fellow coastal engineers and marine contractors facing the challenge of designing and constructing breakwaters in exposed locations.
Key highlights:
-The new western breakwater in Hanstholm is Denmark’s largest and most exposed breakwater.
- Constructed in water depths of 9–13.5 m with 15 t to 32.5 t Cubipods® as the main protective armor.
- Extensively tested in Aalborg University's 3D wave basin, demonstrating resilience against violent wave breaking and design waves exceeding Hs = 8.5m.
Heartfelt thanks to Prof. Tom Bruce, the Organizing Committee, and the International Steering Group for selecting our paper.
Special thanks to my co-authors (Thomas Gierlevsen, Ole Juul Jensen, Antonio Corredor Molguero, and Jonas Ostersen), Port of Hanstholm, and Aalborg University (Thomas Lykke Andersen and Mads Eldrup) for their contributions.
