3. What’s the COST of a Wave Attenuator? Wave Attenuators are the most site specific designed structures in a marina. Can’t you give me a SQUARE FOOT NUMBER?
10. What Factors Create and Effect Wind Generated Waves ? Wind Duration Wind Speed Fetch Water Depth
11. Fetch Fetch (n) : a) The distance over which a wind blows. b) The distance traveled by waves with no obstructions
12. Wind Speed – The average wind velocity over a 3 second gust. Wind Duration – The length of time the wind blows in minutes or hours. Water Depth – The depth of the water during the wind event.
14. Boat Wakes: Under certain conditions the prevailing cause of waves incident to a facility could be boat wakes. They are more frequent than extreme wave events and will lead to structural deterioration by cyclic fatigue.
