• W2127951497 abstract "According to the latest predictions, the average sea level will rise with about 1.2 meters in the coming century. The 60 kilometers of sandy coast along the Dutch city agglomeration Randstad is not prepared for such a threat. The coast needs to be enforced. In the meantime, the coastal zone, with all its charming seaside resorts, is one of the strengths of the Randstad area. Therefore the goal of this graduation project is to design a new coastal defense that enhances the strength of the Randstad Coastline. Firstly, a new Structure Plan for the coastal zone is made. In this plan, the Randstad is envisioned as a Coastal Metropolis, with the coast as a major strength. The plan proposes to intensify the built area along the coast an create better east-west connections towards the coast. For the coastal defense itself, the plan opposes to the current and future policy, which is fortifying the coast by the suppletion of extra sand. Apart from this conventional method, there are numerous other techniques for coastal defense. The ‘soft’ techniques are most optimal for the Randstad Coast because they are flexible and respect the natural coastal morphology. The new proposed technique is a Breakwater Barrier. This strip of new land made of sand, protects the existing coastline. It is 8 km long and is located 800 seawards from the coast. The barrier-concept is designed in more detail for the seaside resort of Katwijk aan Zee. The traditional seaside resort of Katwijk aan Zee experiences a lot of pressure from the continuously expanding hinterland. Also, its low geographic position causes pressure from the sea. The barrier will discharge the town of Katwijk of this pressure. New connections towards the beach barrier will redirect the traffic flows in the area. The village will be protected from storm surge waves and the relation of the charming seafront with the sea will be enhanced. The new boulevard will be improved and in the meantime new ‘coast capacity’ is created on the reef. The barrier will have a marina, vacation homes and a hotel/conference center. By assigning different safety levels to the barrier, the most efficient dimension for the reef is chosen. This way the required amount of sand for the construction is comparable to the amount of sand needed for plans for coastal defense made by the authorities. Although the costs for the construction of this reef are higher than the costs of conventional methods of coastal defense, the reef offers many benefits: the reef can be exploited to gain income, the character of the current coastline won’t be affected, the intervention is flexible and subtle. And most importantly, the beach barrier will create a new exiting coastal landscape that is unique in the world." @default.
