Scour protection 

Scour can be a serious risk to all marine structures. COWI has the specialist knowledge and experience required to design optimized scour protection.

Cost-effective solutions

COWI has extensive experience within the field of scour protection. Our specialist knowledge of flow phenomena, scour materials and construction processes is combined with advanced numerical models and often physical model tests are used to provide optimized design solutions.

Bridge piers

We have designed scour protection of bridge piers for many international landmark bridge projects, in the open sea, in rivers and in estuaries.

Extreme wave, water level and current action must be taken into account in the design phase and in the planning of the construction phase.
