Beach Nourishment & Coastal Protection Works (Package 6) For Navigation Requirements, Tg. Rhu, Langkawi, Kedah, MALAYSIA

A waterfront development which include residential, commercial, marina and a theme park development is to be performed. The development is sited in the vicinity of Kuala Sg. Sementa Besar. A hydraulic and coastal engineering study was carried out to assess the development’s viability and its impacts to the surroundings.

The scope of work was to:

• Collect and collate field and secondary data as part of the modelling study requirements;
• Conduct an investigation to the marine regime at the proposed project area taking into account the physical parameters within the area including deriving offshore wave conditions;
• Perform numerical modelling to determine approaching waves and current flows at the project area;
• Determine influence of the prevailing monsoons onto the hydraulic regime;
• Assess impact of the development onto the adjacent coastline; and
• Model the dispersion of sediment plume arising from the development
