The Performance of Ecologically-Enhanced Urban Shorelines in NYC during Superstorm Sandy
Recently alternative shoreline stabilization approaches have become increasingly common in the urban northeastern United States. The occurrence of Superstorm Sandy just several months after the completion of two neighboring projects in the Bronx, NY, presented a unique opportunity to examine the performance of non-traditional shoreline projects under extreme conditions. The assessment of the two projects along the East River was part of a larger forensic analysis in which the performance of a total of six traditional and non-traditional shoreline projects was undertaken. Of the two Bronx, NY, sites, Hunts Point received significantly less damage due to its more robust design and more natural gentle slope. At Oak Point, debris impact and scour impacting an oversteep slope were found to be the primary damage mechanisms.
