Shore Protection Structure At Lumut Power Plant, Lumut, Perak, MALAYSIA

The shoreline fronting Lumut Power Plant had faced serious erosion due to annual wave attacks although a revetment was built during the construction of the plant. Various measures had been undertaken to arrest the problem such as the placement of rocks, bakau piles and re-nourishment of the shoreline but the problem persisted.

The scope of works included:

• Collect and collate data for the modelling study;
• Carry out soil investigation works and hydrographic and nearshore survey;
• Derive offshore wave conditions and carry out nearshore wave transformation;
• Perform a study on the littoral transport;
• Identify alternatives to mitigate erosion and select the most suitable option;
• Make a comparative study with the original revetment design;
• Determine impact of the proposed shore protection on the adjacent coastline;
• Identify the Design Water Level and run-up to determine the shore protection’s crest and platform level;
• Perform a conceptual engineering design of the shore protection works and provide post estimates; and
• Prepare tender documentation and evaluate tender bids
