The document discusses the installation of covered groynes and geotube units to help save beaches in Turks and Caicos. Three groynes and geotube units placed on containers and a scour apron were installed, with daily pumping needed to remove tidal surge from the excavation site. The document provides contact information for Bryan Hamilton of Atlantic & Caribbean Island Basins International regarding beach saving projects.
The Capella de Pedregal resort in Cabo San Lucas originally planned to build a 6-meter concrete seawall to withstand 100-year storms, but hurricanes during construction made excavation impossible. Using a composite sheetpile wall transported through an on-site tunnel was a more practical solution, but standard sheetpile has deflection issues over 4 meters. Engineers discovered Aquaterra, a new system combining sheetpile and geogrid that eliminates deflection, allowing a 100% synthetic wall meeting design needs. A shotcrete facade was also added to the sheetpile to satisfy the architects' aesthetic preferences.
