The FSB can be attached to existing structures or driven piles. High-tensile SATURN nets from Geobrugg are fixed to the piles, without resorting to a wear-intensive floating construction. The protection system can span widths of up to 60m, sustain large tidal differences and be resistant to wind, currents and corrosion (seawater). Such fixed security barriers are currently in use in some of the toughest maritime environments in the world, such as the Persian Gulf.
