Construction Aspects of the Civil Works for the Storm Surge Barrier at Chioggia Inlet -Venice
The civil works for the protection of Venice Lagoon from storm surges – commonly known as MOSE Project - represent one of the most important coastal engineering project of the last decade.
The MOSE is an integrated system of works for the protection from flooding of the Venice Lagoon articulated in many interventions carried out inside and outside the Lagoon aimed at increasing the environmental and urban resilience of the whole area. The storm surge barriers described herein are only a part of the complex system of safeguarding projects.
