Project Name:

The World - Barrier Reef

Country:

United Arab Emirates (Dubai)

Client:

Year:

2003 – 2007

The design of the protection of The World against storm waves in the Persian Gulf was awarded to Royal Haskoning. To enhance the required natural appearance of The World further, this protection has been designed as a series of low crested reef breakwaters: The World Barrier Reef.

The largest reef breakwater was provided with a 32 m wide berm at 2.5 m below mean sea level, initiating severe wave breaking under design storm conditions. As a result, the crest at the rear of this berm extends only 2 m above mean sea level and is only 9m wide, thus giving a minimum of visual hindrance towards the open sea. Because of its shallow depth, the berm is also expected to attract and provide shelter for a wealth of marine life.
