This is a specifications document for the NASA Wallops Breakwater Project, providing technical requirements for breakwater construction along Wallops Island. The project calls for construction of 2-4 breakwaters positioned approximately 200 feet offshore at Mean High Water elevation, with each structure weighing approximately 10,000 tons. Breakwaters will be constructed using Type II rip rap for armor stone and VDOT Class III stone for core material, placed on 12-inch-thick marine mattress with geotextile fabric. Water depths at placement locations range from -9.5 ft to -12.0 ft NAVD88, with breakwater crest heights constructed to +7 ft NAVD88. Material transportation to the project site may occur via land or sea routes, with construction methods flexible to accommodate either land-based or sea-based approaches.
