Sea erosion of coastal regions of the country becomes a threat to the existing of valuable coastal lands as well as nearby villages. The total coastal length of Gujarat is about 1600 km. Valsad, Navsari, Surat & Bharuch district of Gujarat state has its western boundary as Arabian sea having length of about 300 km. This coastal length have experience severe coastal erosion during last 10year, which ultimately leads damage of immovable properties and as well as loss of life of people. Considering in the safety of people and their properties, this research has been planned to safe guard the people of Survada coast line of Valsad district by designing protection structure against sea erosion and study their feasibility. For the protection of coastal length, Gujarat government has proposed schemes of assistance in which 10 percent share of the total expenditure to be incurred is contributed by the people and 90 percent by the government. Several such schemes are in operation presently in Valsad district. These are at Nani-Danti , Moti-Danti (720m long), Bhadeli-Jagalala(600m long), Kosamba(890m long), Bhagadavada-Tithal(1375m long), Tithal(665m long), Survada-Tithal(1025m long), Fansa(900m long), Maroli(1935 m long), Kolak(830m long), Umarsadi(460m long), Nargol(390m long) and at village Umargaon(285m long).Under this research, the designs of protection wall for the site was prepared. The work in this research was initiated with the survey of the selected coastal region i.e. Survada site and the required information on various aspects for the research was collected. After acquiring the required information, the structure was constructed suiting the project site and it was decided based on the obtained database. There after the designs of the structures was made keeping in mind the cost and strength of the protection wall. The design was made keeping in view the optimize cost and strength of the structure.
