PREPARATION FOR USE - ASSEMBLY OF CAUSEWAY
DETERMINING CAUSEWAY LENGTH
127(
Causeway sections are numbered from the beach seaward.
1.
The requirement for a minimum depth of water (6 ft) plus the tide range at the offshore end of the causeway, the
Sea State and the bottom slope dictate the minimum causeway length. The causeway length depends on how far
offshore the causeway must extend to give the required water depth.
2.
One-half wave height applies at low-tide when it is necessary to have the additional depth in order to have the
minimum 6 ft depth at the bottom of wave troughs.
