Coastal Protection Project<\/div><\/div>

Coastal protection and artificial reef for hydrogeological risk mitigation<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"Progetto<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The new coastal protection project in Sturla \u2013 Genoa <\/strong>represents an innovative coastal engineering<\/strong> intervention developed by GeoScape, in collaboration with Studio Ferri-Gazzano, DICCA \u2013 University of Genoa<\/strong>, and the GOA Consortium<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The main objective of the project is to reduce hydrogeological risk<\/strong> and protect the shoreline, through an integrated approach that combines coastal defense, structural beach nourishment, and the enhancement of wave sports.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Phase One: Shoreline Stabilization and Beach Nourishment<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The first phase of the project involves stabilizing the shoreline through:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The installation of a groyne to the east of Sportiva Sturla<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Beach nourishment with 10,000 m\u00b3 of material<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This intervention allows for the morphological rebalancing of the beach, improving its resistance to marine erosion and contributing to the mitigation of hydrogeological risk.<\/p>\n

    Phase Two: Artificial Reef and Beach Protection<\/strong><\/h6>\n

    The second phase introduces a highly innovative element for the Ligurian context: the construction of an artificial reef to the east of the Sturla stream<\/strong>, accompanied by an additional 6,000 m\u00b3 of beach nourishment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    The reef performs a dual strategic function:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Active coastal protection,<\/strong> dissipating wave energy and preserving the beach<\/li>\n
    • Generation of surfable waves,<\/strong> creating ideal conditions for water sports along the structure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      A Model of Sustainable Coastal Engineering<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The Sturla project represents an advanced model of sustainable coastal protection<\/strong>, where territorial safety is integrated with environmental and recreational enhancement.<\/p>\n

      Through a multidisciplinary approach and innovative technical solutions, GeoScape contributes to the development of resilient infrastructure capable of addressing coastal erosion and climate change challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
