The Construction Project for the Koudiet combined cycle power station seawater intake pipelines included the design of the Koudiet marine platform protection.
The studies completed covered:

• A calculation of the protective rock: A calculation using the Hudson and Van der Meer formula.
• A calculation of the anti-erosion rock at the foot of the breakwater
• The platform crest elevation
• The adaptation of the sections available to the existing material.
• An overflow study.
• The definition of the provisional breakwater to install the land pipelines.
• A rock sampling procedure after the execution of the breakwater
• The calculation of the platform guard wall against overflow
• The design of the road over the breakwater

The stability, overflow and erosion calculations and designs were verified by means of small-scale tests and by means of a numerical modelling of the dynamic wave filtration through the breakwater.  All of this was done with technical advice from INCREA
