Description
Summary:[EN] The goal of this work is to analyze a set of solutions, from which the most appropriate will be chosen, to solve the problem of erosive degradation affecting the Cala de Pope in Jávea, Alicante. The cove is located in the natural park of the cape of San Antonio and is currently closed. Its use was traditional due to its proximity to the urban nucleus next to the marina. First, a preliminary study of the environment, the historical evolution, the geological and geomorphological and climatic context etc. is carried out. Next, the problem of possible actions is discussed and six possible solutions are proposed. The first one consists simply of assessing whether nature alone is capable of reversing the problem. The second and the third solutions are the construction of a hard work, a spike in the first case and a submerged exempt dam in the second case. The fourth option opts for a non-structural solution: artificial supply and regeneration of the dune cord. The last two options are a combination between hard works and artificial supply. After analysing each alternative, the submerged dam solution with artificial feeding and regeneration of the dune cord is chosen. The choice method is based on parametrizing the various factors at stake: economy, environment, functionality and aesthetics. Once these factors evaluated for each scenario, the solution that provides a more favourable result has been chosen. It is intended to build two exempt dikes at a depth of 6 meters with a crowning elevation 0.5 meters below the mean sea level. It will have a length of 40 meters and the two dikes will be 60 meters apart. This length allows that no tokens, which can cause stagnation, are created on the beach. As a construction method, the sea route has been chosen. Finally, to feed the beach, 40mm gravel will be placed in such a way that a beach width of 20 meters is obtained. At the same time, the dune string will be regenerated with the same material to increase the stability of the beach in periods of rough weather. In this work the tasks are scheduled and the mandatory documents (security, environmental study, etc) are budgeted and developed. The project is expected to be completed within 5.5 months.
