Enhanced Breakwater Armor Units

CLIENTPorts de Cala Ratjada|
LOCATIONCala Ratjada, Mallorca|
YEAR 2022

Our bio-enhancing additives and surface agents were used for these massive armor units and blocks protecting a highly exposed Mediterranean port.

Contact

The Port of Cala Ratjada required massive armoring units for an exposed breakwater while complying with new environmental specifications introduced after an environmental impact assessment.

The local contractor manufactured the massive 12.5 m3  blocks and armoring units with our additive and surface agents to meet environmental regulations and provide habitat for marine life.

Environmental Specification

The project complied with environmental specifications introduced by Ports de les Illes Balears following an Environmental Impact Assessment, marking the first inclusion of ecological concrete as a compensatory measure in a Spanish port tender

Integration of ECOncrete Technology

Massive armor units were produced with ECOncrete’s additive and micro-surface texture, and concrete cubes were cast using the admixture and molds to support marine life settlement.

Local Manufacturing & Installation

Units were produced and installed in collaboration with local construction partners, including Construcciones Rubau and Melchor Mascaró S.A.U., using standard marine construction practices.
