Hydraulic Engineering

People living and working in coastal regions have always had to protect their assets from the forces of the sea. Tides, surf, recurring storms and erosion caused by heavy rain events have always presented challenges.

In recent years, the effects of climate change have magnified these problems bringing more frequent extreme weather events and steadily rising sea levels.

These problems exist today and will do so for many years to come. In order to help offset these processes, Geobrugg TECCO^® CELL was developed. TECCO^® CELL is versatile, durable and sustainable. The cell can be easily adapted to suit a wide range of local erosion control requirements such as scour protection, sediment control, shoreline defence or in combination with traditional revetments such as rock armour (riprap), sandbags or precast concrete blocks.
