3. Mound Seawalls

A mound seawall is exactly what it sounds like: a mound. Rock and concrete armour guard a sloped hill. This doesn't necessarily form a wall, but it slows down an ocean wave before it can hit the shore.

Mound seawalls are like a steep hill during a bike ride. Even as you pedal harder, you still slow down as gravity pulls you down. If the hill is steep enough, you have to get off your bike and walk. Though the hill wasn't a direct barrier, it slows your momentum so you move much slower at the top than at the bottom.

These seawalls are not for exposed or high energy shores. If exposed to too much velocity, these seawalls wear away faster than the previous two, leaving a ramp for the waves.

Seawalls are an effective barrier against ocean waves. They slow erosion and save beachfront properties from receding coastlines. Between the three types of seawall, you can find the perfect solution to maintain your coastal property.

2. Curved Seawalls

Also called stepped seawalls, these structures redirect waves without causing as much disturbance as a vertical seawall.

Imagine a toy car. When you drag the car backwards, it winds up so that when you let it go, it gains a lot of speed. Let's say you take that car and place it on a track. This track of the slope downwards, and then has a loop-de-loop.

You already know what happens. The car careens down the slope and around the loop-de-loop. However, what would happen if we removed the second half of the loop? In that case, the car would go around until it ran out of track. It would end up flying backwards.

In this example, the car is an ocean wave. It moves quickly and picks up speed the longer it stays in open water. The broken loop-de-loop is a curved seawall. As the wave crashes against the seawall, it moves up the side and back into the ocean.

Curved seawalls are a more natural way to divert energy, and produce less turbulence in the water around them.

1. Vertical Seawalls

Vertical seawalls are exactly what you think. These walls stick straight up into the air like a fence made of steel or concrete. These seawalls are easy to design and easy to construct. They are a tried-and-true method to block any high-powered wave.

However, these seawalls take the full brunt of a wave. Since they are perpendicular to the water, a wave has no chance to slow down before hitting the wall. Because of this, these walls wear down quickly. Furthermore, they can be undercut as water finds its way under the wall.

Vertical seawalls are best where waters are calm, or the coastline is protected. That way, it can stand against the waves without needing repairs after just a couple of years.

A Quick Guide to the 3 Types of Seawalls

The ocean is enlivening, meditative, and enlightening, but it has a dirty secret: erosion. On any beach, powerful waves erode the coastline. Loose sand and even tough rock stand no chance against the constant driving water crashing against it. Over time, the coastline wears away, bringing with it any beachfront properties unlucky enough to be built too close.

To combat this erosion, you can install a seawall. Seawalls are physical barriers against ocean waves, and divert the energy coming onto the shore back into the sea. There are three main types of seawalls: vertical, curved, and mound. Between these three, you can protect any shore from water erosion.

How seawalls are built?
Although there are several different ways of constructing a seawall, there are three main methods used. The first is thin, interlocking sheet piles driven deeply into the ground. The second method of seawall construction is individual piles used to support an above-ground structure.

Seal A Dock Every Few Years

If your dock is stained and not painted, consider sealing it every few years. The sealant will improve the attractiveness of your dock, while also protecting the wood from rot and mildew.
The more active your clients are in dock maintenance, the longer the dock will last without repairs.
