Skagen Innovation Center is a regional
development center based in the city of Skagen, located at the top of
Jutland in Denmark.
The development center
originates from a foundation with a base capital of DKK 500.000 with subsidies
from the Danish VAT foundation, The Danish Energy Administration, The
Danish Agency for Trade/Industry and the Danish Technology Innovation
office.
Since July 1993, SIC
has performed research in the area of environmentally friendly coastal
protection methods, based on coastal drainage systems.
During this research,
SIC has identified a formally unknown effect based on filter tubes placed
in a matrix inside the coast profile. The effect was first demonstrated
on the Gl. Skagen coastline, where the beach was significantly increased
after installing the filter modules.
The same method has
now been demonstrated in a number of different coastal locations, and
the positive results on the beach profile have been consistent.
