Placing dolosse on South Breakwater in Richards Bay Harbour with Manitowoc 4100 R (00092114)
(5)
Description: Richards Bay Harbour in South Africa is known for its impressive waves and strong currents. To protect the harbor from the forces of the Indian Ocean, massive breakwaters like the South Breakwater were constructed. This 1400-meter-long breakwater required the use of heavy dolosse, a South African invention made of unreinforced concrete. The dolosse are strategically placed to break the wave energy and protect the harbor.
