The large deposits of granite in Massachusetts have helped show why the design of this flood barrier is a success in stopping the storm surge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Bedford_Harbor_Hurricane_Barrier#The_hurricane_barrier RIPRAP is PERMANENT FLOOD BARRIER - A GABION CAN BE PRE-FILLED TEMPORARY FLOOD BARRIER Riprap and granite stones (this is the New Bedford Flood Barrier) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riprap A Rare LOOK Inside The Hurricane Barrier - New Bedford, MA Sea Defense Schemes Talks about GABIONS Coastal Management MACCAFERRI http://www.maccaferri-usa.com/products/15054-1.html MACCAFERRI GABIONS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maccaferri_gabions EUROGABIONS Homepage http://www.eurogabions.com/ EUROGABIONS GABION RETAINING WALL http://www.eurogabions.com/en/products/gabions.php Metric Conversion http://www.metric-conversions.org/length/meters-to-feet.htm Focus on Specification Table http://www.eurogabions.sk/en/products/gabions.php 4M length 1M width 1M height converted = your looking at the following size: 12 feet length 3 feet width 3 feet height As you will see from this video: 1. the Gabions are pre-filled with granite rocks. Its a mobile temporary plan -- not permanent. 2. the Gabions can be stacked to allow additional protection against the storm surge. It works. 3. the Gabions requires no excavating. Its not a messy operation. Cost efficient. EUROGABIONS s.r.o.

Yes using rocks as flood barriers works. To have PRE-FILLED GABIONS stacked.... ......4 high = 16 feet..... (each 4 feet high 4 feet x 4 feet)..... .....2 deep = 8 feet..... (each 4 feet in depth x 2) Each gabion is 13 feet in length. Ok lets create a 5 mile long Gabion along the beach. Goal: To create a basic 5 mile Gabion to stop the storm surge. Involves: #1. 400 gabions 1 mile deep (5200 feet (1 mile) /12 feet (1 gabion) = 400 gabions)...... #2. We are going 2 Deep (Double Defense against the Storm Surge)(Storm surge is 15 feet high)..... 800 Gabions for 2 deep (400 Gabions x 2 deep = 800) #3. 800 Gabions (2 deep) x 4 high levels = 3,200 Gabions for 1 mile............ #4. 3,200 gabions x 5 miles = 16,000 Prefilled Gabion units........... #5. At $200 a piece for each gabion x 16,000 gabions total cost for gabions = $3,200,000 THAT'S A BARGAIN.......... Look at final cost from Hurricane Sandy - Yes Sandy caused $75 billion dollars in damages. Second costliest hurricane in US history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_costliest_Atlantic_hurricanes This is what happens when a populated area, like the Northeast USA, does not have the proper coastal defenses to stop a storm surge. A lot to think about. The Pre-filled Gabions definitely would have helped the coastline along City of New York, the Jersey Shore, and Long Island. Gabions are sturdy in protection. Its not sand. Its not water. Its not messy. Easy to stack. Pre-filled gabions are easy to remove from the beach area when the storm over.

Its not messy operation. Just a matter of stacking. title=
