摘要

barrier assembly for shoreline preservation or restoration and for redirecting wave energy, method for preserving or restoring a shoreline, and use of a barrier assembly. A shoreline preservation or restoration barrier assembly (1) comprising a gabion with side walls (13, 15) connected to each other at intervals spaced along the length of the gabion by a plurality of partition walls (7; 9), the spaces between neighboring pairs of partition walls defining, together with the side walls, at least one individual gabion compartment (7), at least one individual gabion compartment being delimited by respective opposite side walls, or sections of opposing sidewalls of the respective sidewalls, the partition walls being pivotally connected to the sidewalls, the individual gabion compartment having, extending therefrom in a direction away from the individual compartment, at least partially open frame panels converging (21) forming all or part of a protruding compartment (5) in the gabion. Also disclosed is a method of preserving and restoring a shoreline, and the use of a barrier assembly.
