The Seabees are nomially 700mm high by 1500 OD, 750 ID on the seaward face, 600 on the lee face and at the toe ad 800 high on the roundheads. Transmission coefficients are dependent of sealevel, and peak at 25% for a freeboard of 37% Hs, down to almost zero with freeboard equal to 1 in 100yr significant wave height [Hs] of 4m. Seabees selected in preference to Coreloc X-bloks or Accropodes due to lower costs and lower crets levels as well as lower overall concrete usage o a cubic m/sq m basis.
