Bechtel Reveals How Nature Could Make Coastal Infrastructure More Resilient - Pile Buck Magazine
natural barrier islands could help to make coastal infrastructure more sustainable and resilient. The new approach marks a huge step-change in the way marine infrastructure is currently designed, which is usually based on studying trends and processes that are hard to predict. Presenting at the World Ocean Council’s Sustainable Ocean Summit in Singapore today, Mr. Pluijm said the new approach would help engineers to develop innovative solutions to mitigate the devastating impact of sea-level rise from extreme weather events like hurricanes Sandy and Katrina.
