Hello there.
I have to design a timber groyne but with steel piles near a river. What i have to know? The timber that i will use will be hardwood, probably greenheart. is there any document or book to help me in the groyne design?
 
Communicate with authorities prior to planning. The Corp of Engineers regulates the waters of the US. Groynes are known to degrade rivers and protect ocean shores.
 
I would contact:

David is very knowledgeable in this area and may have some valuable advise.
