The primary location of these structures will be the Mississippi Sound, Mobile Bay, and similar environments. Technologies submitted as a response to this request should have the capability to withstand, without damage, the wave climate of a 10 year storm and ability to attenuate wave energy such that natural shoreline vegetation and aquatic ecosystems can thrive under average conditions.
The 10 year storm in the project areas, for the purpose of this request, has a significant wave height, Hs, of 4.0 feet and a wave period, Tp, of 4.5 seconds. The storm duration will be one complete tidal cycle (24 hours). During this tidal cycle the still water level will vary between Mean High Water (4.0 feet water depth) to a maximum total water depth of 8.0 feet at the seaward toe of the structure. All submissions must show wave attenuation, stability and durability over the entire range of the storm.
Wave climate in the project areas during average conditions is assumed to have a wave height, Hs, of 1.5 feet and a wave period, Tp, of 2.5 seconds. Tidal range is 1.50 feet. All other information should be assumed and reflect average conditions along sheltered coastlines in the Mississippi Sound and Mobile Bay.
