Hardware and Performance Evaluation: Tethered Float Breakwater Near-Shore Ocean Model
A Tethered Float Breakwater was installed off Imperial Beach, California, on 12 April 1978. The primary purpose was hardware verification. Its ability to survive in the ocean environment was evaluated over a 22-month period. Also evaluated were corrosion resistance, marine fouling, abrasion, burial, and scouring. The feasibility of a breakwater system that can be towed to an operational site, installed with a minimum of support equipment, and later removed or relocated was demonstrated. Routine maintenance and replacement of components were performed in the open ocean. (Author)
