Delta Marine Consultants has signed a license agreement with J.L. Polynesie (Vinci) for the application of Xbloc armour units on Tahiti, French Polynesia.
Xblocs will be applied as shore protection on the north side of the island. The design has been prepared by Egis Eau.
Xbloc is an interlocking armour unit designed to protect breakwaters and shores over the long term and in extreme conditions. This armour unit is a simple, robust and reliable single layer concrete armour unit without reinforcement.
It has considerable structural integrity as an individual element and has great hydraulic stability in the armour layer.
