Shoreline Protection Evaluation for a Post-Tsunami Highway in Indonesia
This paper discusses the approach used to develop a design for the shoreline protection of the new 150 kilometer long highway (through Parsons as the lead contractor and sponsored by USAID) designed as a response to the December 2004 tsunami; the trade-offs between locating the route where locals prefer to live or being protected from shoreline dynamics and possible future tsunami events; the challenges to developing the design with scarce pre-tsunami data and a dramatic post-tsunami coastal environment; and highlights the subsequent risks and risk mitigation. This paper also discusses one case to illustrate these observations.
