Abstract

This paper traces the journey from theory to application in several projects undertaken in a regional area of Western Australia. This includes design and construction of coastal rock revetments, low profile geotextile sand container groynes, and beach nourishment projects. The importance of understanding the subtleties of coastal dynamics in a particular area, the application, and limitations of widely applied coastal engineering practices, and the importance of positive relationships with experienced local contractors in delivering coastal projects is outlined.
