Marine Walls

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 Extended Service Life
Utilizes 100% HDPE geogrids and steel-free concrete facings to eliminate rust-related deterioration, making the system ideal for aggressive marine environments.
Integrated Drainage for Hydrostatic Pressure Relief
Incorporates efficient drainage layers to control hydrostatic pressure behind the wall, improving stability and long-term performance.
Wide MSE Base for Natural Scour Resistance
Features a broad mechanically stabilized earth base that provides inherent resistance against scour and erosion caused by tidal and flow action.
Stepped Seawall Design for Wave Energy Dissipation
Offers stepped seawall configurations engineered to break and dissipate wave energy, reducing impact forces on the structure and enhancing durability.

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.
