Coastal Protection

Caption

Lemvig in western Jutland, Denmark has coastal protection in the form of a curved concrete wall that winds across the harbour area. The high water wall functions optimally against high water levels up to 2.10 meters and it already proved its worth during a large storm in December 2013. When there is no storm warning, the wall's sliding doors open and create an attractive area at the harbor with a promenade, benches and gathering places.
