ECAB

The quality of the product supplied by ECPS Ltd. was evident from the model testing work carried out in UCC MaREI. The development/validation of a new concrete armour unit requires examining the influence that a number of different factors have on the performance of the structure. The model tests sought to examine the effects of stability, unit size, slope, run up, overtopping and reflection on the revetment when subjected to differing wave sizes and wave periods, at 1/30th scale... The testing by UCC MaREI has shown that the ECAB revetment with a properly designed filter layer on an appropriate slope is an extremely robust armouring system for revetments and breakwaters... In 2015, John Creedon, of RTE, presented a program on Coastal Erosion in Ireland. The program focused on the terrible damage inflicted on Rossbeigh, Co. Kerry during the storms of 2014.
