STORM SURGE PROTECTION SYSTEM
A storm surge protection barrier is provided for a shore line bordering a sea that is prone to storm surges. The barrier includes a plurality of individual wall sections each having a plurality of plastic-based structural beams joined by at least one cross structural cross tie. The wall sections each have an above-grade upper portion of a predetermined first length, LAB and a below-grade lower portion of a predetermined second length LBG, and wherein LAB>2LBG. The wall sections are arranged upright and buried in a trench of the shore line in side-by-side succession to form a continuous barrier wall with the below-grade lower portions disposed in the trench and the above-grade upper portions projecting upwardly out of the trench at a predetermined tilt angle away from the sea of between 1 and 10 degrees.
