Engineered fringing reefs are designed to absorb most of the wave energy, whilst allowing much of it to pass. In this way our coastlines’ natural littoral processes are maintained during normal conditions, whilst wave and surge energy is reduced during storm events. to find out more about how engineered reefs can be used to protect your shoreline contact us at info@subcon.com.

We believe artificial reefs are one of the most effective ways to control coastal erosion. Not only can our specifically designed structures attenuate wave energy, but the by product I that they create new and vital habitat for fish populations and recreational divers alike. For more information on wave attenuating fringing reefs for coastal erosion control, please go to our web page and check out or Mon Coisy case study from Mauritius.

Retreat may be the only option in some cases. In most situations however, the construction of a fringing reef will address the many threats to our shorelines. Erosion patterns can be moderated and modified to allow our coastal populations to preverve their asset values and continue their long relationship with the sea and her shorelines.
