Effective protection in semi-exposed waters

Floating Breakwaters

Floating breakwaters are used to protect semi-exposed water bodies in both port and natural environments, where wave action is primarily generated by wind or maritime traffic rather than direct open-sea waves.
As floating structures, they preserve the natural dynamics of currents and sediment transport, avoiding significant alterations to the marine environment.
Inquiry Regarding Floating Breakwaters
Floating breakwaters are used to protect semi-exposed water bodies in both port and natural environments, where wave action is primarily generated by wind or maritime traffic rather than direct open-sea waves.

Main function

Attenuate short-period waves in port areas or semi-protected waters.

The technical function of the floating breakwater is to attenuate short-period waves, reducing internal agitation and improving the operational conditions of basins, marinas, and protected areas.

The modules can be installed using various fastening systems:

  • Chain mooring
  • Elastic mooring systems
  • Pile-guided systems

System maintenance focuses primarily on monitoring the anchoring system and the connections between modules.

  • Protection of recreational marinas
  • Shelters and fishing ports
  • Semi-sheltered port basins
  • Protection of floating facilities
  • Floating photovoltaic installations in reservoirs

  • Suitable for areas without direct exposure to open-sea waves
  • Require a fastening system sized according to wave action and depth
  • Require periodic inspections of the mooring system and connections

  • Reduction of internal agitation caused by wind and maritime traffic
  • Maintenance of natural sedimentary dynamics
  • Adaptation to various mooring systems depending on the site
  • Maintenance requirements focused on accessible components
