Coastal Protection

Coastal protection using steelnet should be limited to a secondary defence in exposed areas or a primary defence in sheltered or estuary locations.

    The protection system can be as a retaining structure or as a revetment. In all cases, only PVC-zinc coated steelnet should be considered, as zinc or aluminium-zinc coatings are susceptible to corrosion (however if the structures are temporary then these coatings can be considered.)
