4 year University study from 2006 to 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n

Project headed by The Royal BAM Group (25,000 employees)<\/p>\n

Main findings after 4 years:<\/p>\n

\n
On a historically eroding beach the average beach elevation increased 2 ft in the PEM area<\/li>\n
PEM and control beaches gained sand during the study (no down-drift erosion)<\/li>\n
Sediment on PEM beaches had fewer very fine particles and drained better<\/li>\n
Increase in dune volume on PEM beaches<\/li>\n
Steeper beach slope on PEM beaches, which results in a more robust beach<\/li>\n
Lowered water table on PEM beaches<\/li>\n
Rapid recovery after storm on PEM beaches compared to beach without PEM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A paper on the project with PEM (called Ecobeach) can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
For a short summary of the project check here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Based on their experience from the above project BAM Group later presented an offer to the Danish Government for a 70 mile PEM project on the highly eroding Danish West coast.<\/p>\n
