Why Revetments & Groynes Matter

Revetments and groynes are essential coastal protection structures that play a vital role in managing erosion, stabilizing shorelines, and defending infrastructure from the constant forces of the sea. Together, they contribute to:

Protecting Coastal Infrastructure

By absorbing wave energy (revetments) and controlling sediment movement (groynes), these structures safeguard roads, embankments, and coastal developments from damage caused by waves and storm surges.

Erosion Control & Shoreline Stabilization

Revetments shield vulnerable shorelines from direct wave impact, while groynes trap and retain sand to maintain wide, stable beaches—reducing long-term land loss and preserving natural buffers.

Supporting Sustainable Coastal Management

Both structures are designed to work with natural coastal processes, promoting long-term resilience and helping maintain the ecological balance of shoreline environments. 

At PLC, we understand the strategic importance of revetments and groynes in protecting the dynamic coastlines of the Middle East. Through smart engineering and tailored design, we deliver solutions that enhance coastal durability while respecting the unique marine environments of the region.

Our Work

Project Show Case

DUBAI HARBOUR MASTER PLAN
DUBAI, U.A.E
The groyne works at Dubai Harbour form a vital element of the project's coastal defence strategy. Located near Logo Island, these early-stage structures ensure the long‑term resilience of reclaimed beaches and integrate seamlessly into the broader marine infrastructure, supporting the development’s vision of a premium, sustainable waterfront destination.
AHMED BIN RASHID PORT CHANNEL DREDGING AND BEACH RECLAMATION
UM AL QUWAIN, U.A.E.
The Ahmed Bin Rashid Port project merges strategic dredging, coastal engineering, and reclamation. Its structured revetment system—a mix of concrete walls and rock armor—provides vital protection to both the reclaimed beaches and navigation channels, ensuring long‑term durability and operational effectivenes
