THE ACTUAL BREAKWATER OF THE PORT OF SALERNO WILL BE ENLARGED BY AN OVERALL LENGTH OF 200M. FOR THIS PURPOSE, THE PORT AUTHORITY OF SALERNO HAS ALREADY PLANNED A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF THE EXTENSION OF THE MAIN BREAKWATER WITH THE ADOPTION OF THE NEW TECHNOLOGY OF CAISSON BREAKWATERS MODIFIED BY EMBODYING THE REWEC3 PLANT IN PLACE OF TRADITIONAL UPRIGHT CAISSONS. THE TOTAL ENLARGEMENT OF 200M WILL BE REALIZED THROUGH TEN REWEC3 CAISSONS AT A WATER DEPTH OF ABOUT 11.5M, EACH WITH LENGTH OF 20M.
