Course Details

Coastal Engineering is a branch of civil engineering concerned with the specific demands posed by constructing at or near the coast and the development of the coast itself. Coastal engineering and shore protection are one of the most sophisticated engineering specialities.

Coastal Engineers are often interdisciplinary and involved in integrated coastal zone management. This may include providing input and technology for, e.g. environmental impact assessment, port development, strategies for coastal defence, land reclamation, etc.

This 5-day Coastal Engineering and Shore Protection Structures training course introduces key concepts and basic knowledge in Coastal Engineering and Shore Protection Structures. It will enable the delegates to understand the basics of the design and construction of coastal structures and shore protection structures.

This introduces the natural phenomenon affecting coastal zones and explains the motion of wave mechanics and wave transformation. The delegates will understand the phenomenon of Sediment transport and shoreline changes which affect most of the coastlines around the world and have major economic and environmental impacts.

This training course will highlight some main aspects of coastal management: the defence against flooding and erosion and techniques that stop erosion from claiming lands. Protection against rising sea levels in the 21st century is crucial, as sea level rise accelerates due to climate change.
