Causeway Design and Monitoring of Woja Island, Republic of the Marshall Islands
The focus of this project was to provide engineering design and costing for coastal protection works.
With continued erosion of the lagoon side beach and degradation of the seaward side beachrock reef, an eventual breach dividing Woja Island through this area on every high tide will occur. The focus on this project was to provide engineering design and costing for coastal protection works involving a review of past studies, assessments and documents relating to the project site, liaise with necessary authorities regarding archived data and knowledge relating to the project site, undertake a site assessment, develop an assessment report of coastal changes at Woja Island over the past 30 years within the context of coastal changes in Ailinglaplap Atoll, based on the scientific studies, assessment visit and community consultation. Finally, a feasibility and costing study of coastal protection measures required for Woja Island for the next 30 years was prepared, taking into account projected climate change and including hard and soft engineering measures.
