Project Description
At the Port of Klaipeda, the breakwaters protecting the port from sea waves were constructed more than a century ago.
The project entails the repair and reinforcement of two breakwaters.
The renovation work mainly involves the removal of the old stone base and the subsequent installation of a new layer of stone protection of different weights and sizes. In total, more than 400 000 t of stones will be used.
Among the existing elements of the harbour dykes, 25 t of tetrapods and concrete cubes of up to 40 t will be reused in the new construction.

The upper concrete layer of the dykes will also be renovated and dredging will be undertaken.
