The NTUA School of Civil Engineering Ports of Civil Engineering continues to innovate in the field of physical simulation of port and coastal projects,
performing experimental measurements for the port of Kato Pyrgos, Cyprus. The research aims to optimize the functionality, viability and durability of the port, taking into account its dynamic interaction with the coastal processes of the neighboring coasts.

Physical simulation is a fundamental tool in port and coastal mechanics, allowing:

  • ✓ the reproduction of actual conditions and
  • ✓ Highly accurately accurate design solutions.

Through the experimental analysis, the effectiveness of port infrastructure, the protection of the coastline from erosion and the resistance to the effects of climate change is ensured.

The findings of this survey have immediate social and economic benefits, contributing to
Development of safe, sustainable and efficient infrastructure supporting shipping,
Tourism and local communities.

The advanced infrastructure of the Port Works Laboratory, unique in their kind in Greece, make it a center of excellence inside and outside the borders, enhancing innovative research, the production of new scientific knowledge and the training of the next generation of engineers.

Her Friday 7 March 2025 and at 12:30 pm At the premises of the Port Works Laboratory, the Zografou Polytechnic will take place:

  • ❖ demonstration of experimental measurements and
  • ❖ Discussion-presentation of the potential of physical simulation with the aim of optimizing the functionality, viability and durability of ports through specialized experiments
