Beach Nourishment at Faxe Ladeplads in Zealand, Denmark

- Abstract
- The recent beach nourishment performed at Faxe Ladeplads in Zealand, Denmark was established with the objective to reduce wave overtopping onto the adjacent road and also aimed to restore a beach for recreation. During the time that the nourishment has been in place, the appearance of the beach has changed significantly compared to when it was initially restored. This project focused on studying the morphological evolution of the nourishment in the recent time that it has been in place. The study aimed to increase the knowledge of the sediment dynamics in the area and identify governing mechanisms for the changed appearance. The study found indications of nourished material being transported via longshore drift and depositing in the area... (More)

The study aimed to increase the knowledge of the sediment dynamics in the area and identify governing mechanisms for the changed appearance. The study found indications of nourished material being transported via longshore drift and depositing in the area downdrift the location of the nourished area. In addition, the nourished area and restored beach seem to be greatly impacted by lee side erosion that occurs as an effect of the close proximity to the nearby harbour. This phenomenon was recorded to impact the coastal area even before the nourishment was established, however the effect appears to be more pronounced since there is now additional material present in the system. To combat the issues of lee side erosion, it is suggested that a more active bypass operation that sources material on the updrift side of the harbour pier is further investigated. (Less)

- I oktober 2018 anlades en 20 meter bred sandstrand i Faxe Ladeplads på Själlands östkust. Stranden utgör ett kustskydd vars främsta syfte är att minska mängden vågor som sköljer upp på den angränsande vägen under stora stormar men utgör även en badstrand till glädje för bygdens invånare och besökande turister. När stranden låg klar var förhoppningarna höga att Faxe skulle bli Själlands egna Copacabana. Men sedan stranden etablerades har dess utseende förändrats avsevärt, sand från strandplanet har försvunnit och strandens bredd har minskat. Detta har tyvärr medfört att Faxes status som världskänd tropisk badort än är obefintlig och kustskyddets utformning har ifrågasatts. Examensarbetet syftade till att undersöka var sanden har tagit vägen... (More)

Examensarbetet syftade till att undersöka var sanden har tagit vägen och vilka mekanismer som är orsaken till strandens förändrade utseende. Med vetskap om detta, hur ska man i framtiden agera för att säkerställa strandens bredd? (Less)
