Marine

Application Overview

The marine environment presents unique challenges with saltwater corrosion, wave action, and tidal forces. POME’s Marine MSE Walls are specifically designed to resist these conditions, providing durable, long-lasting solutions for seawalls, quay walls, and shoreline protection. Our systems offer effective erosion control and create stable platforms for coastal development.

Challenges in Marine Construction

Saltwater Corrosion
Traditional steel-reinforced concrete and metal components deteriorate rapidly.
Erosion and Scour
Wave action and currents undermine foundations and cause structural failure.
High Lateral Pressures
Water-saturated backfill and dynamic wave loads exert extreme pressure on walls.
Minimizing Dredging
Traditional solutions often require extensive and expensive dredging operations.

POME’s Solution

Corrosion-Free Materials for Long-Term Coastal Performance
Utilizes 100% HDPE geogrids and steel-free concrete facings to eliminate corrosion risks and prevent rust-related deterioration in aggressive marine environments.
Integrated Drainage for Hydrostatic Pressure Control
Incorporates efficient drainage systems behind the wall to manage water flow, relieve hydrostatic pressure, and enhance overall structural stability.
Wide MSE Base for Enhanced Scour Resistance
Features a broad mechanically stabilized earth base that provides inherent resistance to scour and erosion caused by tidal action and flowing water.
Stepped Seawall Design to Dissipate Wave Energy
Offers stepped seawall configurations engineered to break and dissipate wave energy, reducing impact forces and improving the durability of coastal protection structures.

Benefits

Full saltwater corrosion resistance for a 120-year design life

Effective protection against wave action and erosion

Reduces the need for costly dredging and deep foundations

Engineered for Efficiency

POME’s Marine MSE Walls are engineered to conquer the coastal environment. By leveraging non-corroding materials and the inherent stability of reinforced soil, we deliver resilient, low-maintenance waterfront structures that protect investments and infrastructure against the relentless marine elements.
