Présentation

Arthur de Graauw is a French/Dutch coastal engineer employed by a French Consulting firm, SOGREAH (now ARTELIA) until the end of 2015. His main achievements are modelling and design of the sea bed protections and of the foundation layers of the Oosterschelde Storm Surge Barrier (1980), the reconstruction of Sogreah’s Hydraulics Lab (1987), the initial project for offshore extension of Beirut Central District (1991), the extension of Port Revel (2009), the Catalogue of ancient ports (since 2011), the discovery of the southern Phoenician port of Tyre (2019). He graduated from Delft University of Technology in 1976 in civil engineering of coastal structures and areas. He was employed by Delft Hydraulics Laboratory (now DELTARES) from 1976 to 1983 before joining SOGREAH. He used many hydraulic scale models and mathematical models in his work. He worked on numerous projects related to coastal erosion, industrial ports and marinas in the Mediterranean area including Lebanon, Gaza, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and France. From 2002 to 2015, he managed the Port Revel ship handling training centre using manned models where maritime pilots from all over the world come for training. This led him to work with the Panama Canal extension. He has been active on ancient ports since 1998 and created a new catalogue of ancient ports encompassing nearly 6000 places. He is the webmaster of www.AncientPortsAntiques.com focusing on many technical aspects of ancient ports. He became a Research Associate at Lyon 2 University in 2021.
