Berm Breakwaters, Fifteen Years Experience

Berm breakwaters have been designed and constructed in Iceland since 1983. Over twenty rubble mound structures of the berm type have been constructed so far, fourteen were new structures, whereas the remaining six were improvements or repairs of existing breakwaters. During 1998 two berm breakwaters are being extended. Further two structures will be built every year for the next 2-3 years.
