Wave Brake

Modular Floating Breakwaters (Wave Attenuators)

Reduce the Force of Waterborne Waves by 50%.

(Actually - A well configured and installed Wave Brake
system could reduce wave magnitude by 75-80% or more.)

"Wave Brake" is a cost effective solution to those beach front problems caused by wave action.

Please review the following pages for more details on the issues that "Wave Brake" can help.

There is an equally effective system that uses heavy man made concrete modules. These modules must likewise be shipped to the site and carefully stacked using marine cranes. Again, this system, though effective, is quite costly.

To reduce the magnitude of waves, the "Wave Brake" system was developed.  It is a modular floating configuration that is held in position by a suitable anchoring system.  "Wave Brake" uses a three dimensional assembly of special scientifically designed modules.  The alternate positioning of the modules in the configuration increases the turbulence of the waters flowing through the "Brake" and in turn reduces their force and magnitude.  "Wave Brake" applications include:

• Beach Protection
• Erosion Control
• Beach Accretion
• Marina Facility Breakwaters
• Creation of Artificial Harbors or Yacht Basins
• Protected Swimming and Picnic Areas
• Wave and Wake Barriers
• Security or Privacy Barriers

The upper modules or cubes control the visible waves and the submerged cubes control the subsurface wave forces.

Fixed Sea Floor Systems may be used in some locations that are more concerned with "Long Swell" conditions rather than "Wave Brake" issues.  Let us offer you an alternate for the missing "Barrier Islands" in the form of small Wave Brake structures that provide the "seed" to form and develop new barrier islands.
