Abstract

This article presents a current procedure that Thailand is undertaking to design a coastal revetment. Had Sai Kaew beach, located in the south of Thailand, experienced severe erosion. Coastal protection structure was urgently required. The design process comprised many steps such as a bathymetric survey, sediment sampling, wave climate analysis, water level calculation, wave transformation, public participations, a consideration of appropriate type of revetment, and a detailed design which included revetment’s components as well as architectural improvement. These procedures were summarized. Coastal engineers and managers around the world might apply this experience to suit their projects.
