As suitable sand sources are drying out it becomes ever more important that beach erosion is reduced to a minimum. For beach nourishment projects to last it is important to know the factors influencing the erosion at the location. At EcoShore we study the site carefully and often do ground water studies as well as off-shore studies before making any suggestions. Our staff includes professional engineers and individuals with experience on coastal and environmental matters. We are able to apply a number of methods to reduce the erosion to a minimum, or even turn a traditionally eroding beach into a neutral or accretional beach. A key technology we have access to is the environmentally friendly PEM technology - (Pressure Equalizing Modules), a benign and economical solution that has been applied successfully in Europe, Asia and Africa. For more information on PEM see the following pages. ....... HILLSBORO BEACH - THE FIRST PEM PROJECT IN THE USA On Feb. 28, 2008 the first PEM project was completed in the USA.
