REASON FOR EROSION

Decline in sediment supply to the spit by Sungai Chenang, due to a reduction in forest clearing. During construction of the resort, it was decided to enlarge the spit by reclamation, based on the architectural layout. Since the new layout was not a stable situation, in the local wave climate, the coastline of the resort rapidly.

SIGNIFICANCE OF PROJECT

The project needs to address the coastal erosion of the Pelangi Beach Resort while taking into consideration the recreational use of the beach. Due to its purpose it is required that a solution should have:

Minimum visual impact on the beach, And would not endanger recreation along the beach.

PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES
Rubble Mound Break Water Quite massive, hinder the view from the beach to the offshore islands. Would lead to rip currents near the breakwater heads which could be dangerous for swimmers Scour holes develop in front of the breakwaters due to wave reflection Expensive

PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES
Parallel Pile Rows Does not pose large visual impact Allow sediment transport Local scour around the piles occurs Less expensive

DESIGN Formation of salients (Hanson and Kraus) Transmission Coefficient of 0.6 at high tide (Hayashi, Grune and Kohlhase) The concrete spun pile row breakwaters consist of individual 350 mm diameter round piles with gaps of 70 mm in between Design scouring depth : 0.5m (Hayashi and Shirai)

DESIGN
The initial height of the piles above the seabed is 1.5 m for the northern pile row and 2.2 m for the southern pile row. The pile rows were placed 75 m offshore from the High Water line. The northern pile row has a length of 120 m and the southern 140 m. The distance between both pile rows is 210 m. A beach replenishment of 15,000 m3 was foreseen at the beach behind the two pile rows, using 400 m D50 sand.

PERFORMANCE

ln general the pile rows performed excellent. The salient sand bodies on the lee side of the pile rows almost developed into shore connecting tombolos.
