👉 Harbour engineering encompasses the design, construction, and maintenance of artificial or natural harbours to facilitate maritime activities such as shipping, fishing, and tourism. It involves a range of disciplines including civil, environmental, and structural engineering to create safe, efficient, and sustainable waterfront spaces. Key aspects include the construction of breakwaters and seawalls to protect against erosion and storm surges, the design of channels and dredging operations to maintain navigable depths, and the implementation of environmental measures to preserve marine ecosystems. Modern harbour engineering also integrates advanced technologies for monitoring water quality, optimizing traffic flow, and enhancing resilience against climate change impacts like rising sea levels.
