Abstract

XblocPlus is a pattern placed single layer armour unit which was developed between 2015 and 2018 (Reedijk, 2018). The unit is applied on the Afsluitdijk Project in The Netherlands where 75,000 blocks are used. The second project followed at Vistula Spit in Poland. Valuable experiences were gained during the first practical application of the unit which are described in this paper.
