Research Pays Off: SEAHIVE: Coastal Infrastructure Protection from Hurricanes and Storm Surge
With annual temperatures projected to increase and coastal population density continuously growing, coastlines will likely experience stronger storms and potentially more devastating disasters. To address the coastal infrastructure protection issue, researchers at the University of Miami through the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 20-30/Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) 213, with support from the Florida Department of Transportation, developed SEAHIVE, a sustainable estuarine and marine revetment system. The SEAHIVE system can be used as revetment, breakwater, and seawall alternative, providing protection from storm surge and wave action in marine and estuarine environments. Three SEAHIVE pilot installations are ongoing in Southeast Florida. This article discusses the overall benefits of SEAHIVE, the development of SEAHIVE, and summarizes the pilot installations.
