Harbour Flashcards
Design considerations for harbour
● Location: Based on water depth, navigation channels, and environmental impact.
● Water Depth: Ensures safe entry and maneuverability.
● Berthing: Designing berths for different ship sizes and types.
● Mooring: Providing adequate facilities for safe docking.
● Wave Protection: Designing breakwaters or seawalls.
● Navigation: Ensuring safe channels and adequate lighting.
● Environmental Impact: Minimizing the harbor’s impact on the ecosystem.

- Quay Wall Construction: Building walls to enclose the harbor.
- Breakwater Construction: Building protective structures to reduce wave action.
- Dredging: Excavating the harbour basin to required depths.
- Piling: Driving piles into the seabed to support structures.
- Caisson Construction: Building large, watertight chambers for breakwaters or quay walls.
- Precast Concrete Units: Using precast concrete elements for structures.
- Diving Operations: Using divers for underwater construction, inspection, or repair tasks.
