Hartlepool
Project
An 110 metre long TBLOCK wall built in 1990 and
subjected to the same wave forces and tidal conditions as the Rock
armour solutions. The wall is unimpaired and showed that, whereas
flat vertical surfaces create scouring at the base, the vertical
saw tooth profile of the TBLOCK structure dissipates wave energy
and attracts beach material at the base.

Aiya
Napa Project
The fishing refuge in Aiya Napa Cyprus was lined
internally with TBLOCKs to provide a vertical wall and to dissipate
wave energy from the wake of vessels.
