The Port is leading the Embarcadero Seawall Program, a citywide effort to create a more sustainable and resilient waterfront. The Program is dedicated to robust community and stakeholder engagement, along with fiscal responsibility, accountability, and transparency.

The Living Seawall Pilot is an innovative study led by the Port of San Francisco and Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) that is testing and evaluating engineering with nature concepts from around the world - from Seattle to Sydney - to learn how we can make San Francisco's seawalls more ecologically friendly in the future.

changed! Over 100 years ago, the Port of San Francisco oversaw the construction of the Embarcadero Seawall, a rock and concrete wall stretching three miles. The Seawall transformed the city, laying the foundation for the thriving waterfront we know and love today. With over $100 billion in assets and annual economic activity along

A seawall (or sea wall) is a form of coastal defense constructed where the sea, and associated coastal processes, impact directly upon the landforms of the coast. The purpose of a seawall is to protect areas of human habitation, conservation, and leisure activities from the action of tides, waves, or tsunamis. [1]

2022年12月14日 · What if there was a way to create a seawall that aided local ecosystems instead of hindering them? This October, the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) launched the Living Seawall Pilot Project with the Port of San Francisco. The project aims to test new materials and design for San Francisco seawalls that may promote biodiversity ...

Running underground for three miles along the Embarcadero, San Francisco’s seawall literally holds downtown San Francisco together. It protects dozens of buildings from erosion and collapse. Discover how the seawall works, why it was built, and how it …

Seawalls are commonly used as foreshore protection structures with aims of armouring the shore against erosion and preventing inundation of low-lying areas. However, the traditional design of seawall structures using rock or concrete has limited potential to provide habitats and other environmental services along the shorelines.

Part of the Port's Waterfront Resilience Program, the Embarcadero Seawall Program will provide the tools to address current and future risks over time. The Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment , or MHRA, provides a comprehensive understanding of existing earthquake and flood risks along the Embarcadero and establishes a basis for the development of ...

The Port Works Design Manual presents recommended standards and methodologies for the design of marine works in Hong Kong. It consists of five separate volumes, namely, Part 1 to Part 5. Part 1 mainly covers design considerations and requirements that are generally applicable to various types of marine works. Part 2 to Part 5 are concerned with
