Coastal Infrastructure

Development of design criteria for coastal infrastructure

a) Objectives

Providing innovative solutions for the planning of coastal infrastructure. Development of design criteria for coastal infrastructure for extreme environmental loadings by assessment of waves, currents and tide parameters

b) Importance of the project on economics and job creation

Provide readily available atlas and statistical estimation for pre-engineering needs, reducing the cost of data collection during the feasibility stage.
Long-term analysis of data hind-cast data enables safety in project planning.

c) Methodology implemented

Update of Coastline and bathymetry from various sources
Model setup, including Islands
Product run of the model
Extreme value analysis with various methods,
Preparation of Design criteria for the Indian coast, including Islands
Publish the database

d) Outcomes / Deliverables

Atlas of tidal currents for the East coast of India Using Indian Coastal Ocean Radar Network observations
Mapping of Bathymetry using Lidar Technology
Hard and soft copies of wave atlas with statistics for engineering applications
Wave Atlas 1st edition was published in 2014, and 2nd edition is in progress.
Current atlas for the entire north Indian Ocean for modelling and other engineering applications
Web and mobile App for tide prediction along the Indian coast for post-processing of bathymetry data and forcing the model boundaries
